I've been looking into the Cayenne for a few years now, so I have enough info to keep this thread going for awhile if there are those that are interested. Data has been collected, but it isn't all put together yet. Maybe we can work together to figure it out.
For the tire carrier - 1st thing to understand is that you can only take the Porsche parts so far because the factory tire holder wraps around and will be too small for bigger tires.
The mounting holes can be seen in the pic of someone installing an aftermarket hitch. The hitch is mounted where the stock bumper reinforcement was mounted. If they didn't remove the reinforcement, you would have a threaded hole on each side that you insert stock toe hooks into, and this it how Porsche mounted their removable winch for the Trans Rally. Look back in the thread to see the winch on a bar.
The 4 holes just to the left of the hitch is where the bottom left side of the carrier mounts - a little plastic will need to be cut. There's lots of data/links either in my CPU or other forums. I also have a whole binder of Porsche part #s and diagrams, so it will be something I'll have to chip away at to get it here.

I have 2 PDF docs for you all that contain all part#s for the Cayenne - can't get them anymore. They are for the first generation only MY03-10. I don't know how to shrink them to upload here - one is over 7MBs. If someone knows how I can email them the docs and then they can upload or make a link.

The doc is at RennTech.org, but you have to join (free) but contribute (min. $25) to view Porsche Technical Service Bulletins. I did contribute and have access to it, but they won't let you copy it.
If you took the time to re-write it you would have it, otherwise you have to download everytime you want to look at it.
I have a rear bumper reinforcement from a MY05 and could measure all eight mounting locations if that would help you. Go back a couple of posts to see the pic of the aftermarket hitch. I believe there a two part #s for this for the 1st gen, so I'm not sure if this is the same as yours - I'd have to check the parts PDF.
My thought was to use this layout and fab a bumper from here rather than use the complicated factory carrier. Plan was to have the new carrier mount to body, come straight out through the plastic bumper cover, and then extend left and right to get the pivot and locking points past the path of the rear door. At that point, a carrier can be built from scratch or maybe a current aftermarket tire carrier can be adapted to fit.
Other forums that are very useful besides RennTech:
Rennlist, 6speedonline, cayenneforums.
Parts - some have great links to diagrams and part #s:
Paragon-products, Autoalanta, Automotion, Autohauseusaaccessories.
Anyone know why the extra lines in my messages get deleted when I "submit reply"?
An old Land Rover beat it off road...imagine my surprise!!!!:Wow1:

Yea, l knew this was coming
With a hail storm and 30 mph cross wind I know witch one I'd be in. Porsche has never claimed to be a 40 year old land rover either.

In the driveway...
Here's the one that I've got my eye on...
http://www.suncoastporschesarasota.com/Used/2004_PORSCHE_Cayenne_Turbo__One_Owner_Low_miles/Sarasota_FL/LISTING-16087001/VehicleDetails.aspx
I have to wait until mid December before my trust fund (ok, my wife) allocates the funds.
The plan is for a custom rear bumper with a hinged "swing down" dual spare tire carrier. Plus, a 2" receiver / winch mount, and another pair of 2" receivers for a gear tray. Spare battery in the old underfloor spare tire space. Then an RTT on custom mounts on top, and various camping stuff in the boot, and we're all set.
We've got a shakedown cruise to the 'glades and the Keys scheduled for February and then it's back to Labrador next summer!!

Best of luck, jluck.

Yeah - I like yours better - Atlanta isn't too far away for me.
Hope it will be around in 4 weeks!
That tire carrier is UGLY! :Wow1: But I bet it works really well.
The offroad package is worth a lot - fabing up skidplates alone would cost a small fortune.
I live in hope,
