Thanks... I've always been interested in a swing-away, but was curious about how it might mount to the tail-gate. Would you have any pictures of the tailgate-to-swing mounting point?

I'll take a couple tonight.

That said, it doesn't actually mount to the tail gate. The simple latch mechanism is actually on the lower contact pivot point. Essentially, there are four bolts that connect it to the truck. Two in the upper tub rail and two in the lower.

It had both on it when I bought it. Looking back through records kept by PO's, the spare tire in the rear is a D90 carrier.

Do I need two? You never know! Though it does make it a bit more of a pain to get in and out of the back.

Nice. Do you normally carry two spares?

Maybe they are flotation devices . . .

Looks great!

Can you show/explain how you mounted the rear tire to your tailgate?

Thanks

So THAT's why they call them "fingerlings"

For rustonrover and his 1957 88": Can you post a face-on close-up photo of the Arabic writing, can't see it from this angle? -- if enough is visible, can translate for you.

Beautiful picture - in my mind, what Series Land Rovers are all about.

You should submit it as a POM to the Series 2 Club over in the UK (HERE)... they could stand to have a few more "colonial" submissions.

Nice rig East High. It looks as if you have some custom boxes in the rear tub? What is that? Behind the driver

Thanks!

It's a custom lock box. It was designed for a defender, but it fits the 88 pretty well. It holds a ton of stuff. That's a locking jerry can mount on the other side.
