Project ZU: Rear Tire Carrier

This is kind of an old thread, but how did your hinges hold up? I was recently rear ended and interested in doing this to my VX. Did you have to beef up your hinges or have any problems with the latch?

No problems at all. I've even tagged the tire on a few rock ledges without any repercussions.


I think this has helped a lot to keep stress off the hinges and latch.
