Disco Cooler rack above spare

[colvere]

On Saturday while driving to Boise I saw a disco going east on the interstate that had a rack over the rear tire for a cooler. Who makes these?

Be careful of additional weight on that tailgate door. Your hinges will not like you very much. Columbia rovers makes a mount that bolts to your spare tire that houses a jerry can, you could easily look at their plans and make your own or modify accordingly. Also i believe bottorf fabrication made something similiar (caveat: i would not recommend ordering anything from them)

A buddy of mine has something similar on his Defender. His is part of a swing away spare carrier so the weight isn't on the door. I don't know for sure but I think his is from Mantec.

I assumed it would be on a tire swing gate I would not bolt it to an already heavy door. I did not find anything at mantec

I have one on my Disco...I just bought a basket from an ATV shop and welded in on with square tubing as the bracket on the spare tire mount. I put a cooler on it quite a few times and it held pretty well. I still have a stock spare tire on the rear door so it is not as heavy.
