It`s a Waeco CD30. I figured that out too, should be able to fix it pretty easy.
Built the spare tire carrier today:
Of course there was not a single pice of tubing the right size in my 15tons of steel. So i had to turn some down:
Had to weld the plate to a fixture to turn the flange out of:
Mocked it up:
Tacked on some flatbar that will be boltet to the door:
Welded everthing in:
Drilled the bolt pattern:
Welded it in:
Mounted the carrier:
And the wheel in:
Now i want to build a ladder on that side to, but not sure how.

Yep, that's what I would have done (if I had the knowledge, the machines, the material, and the guts...). Stein, you get more done in a day then I get done in, er, ever!
A bit concerned about your tire carrier, however; can that rear door open with the tire carrier bolted to it? You have the 270 degree hinges, and I just don't see how that's gonna open now.
But, clearly you are smarter than me on this stuff.

Thanks java, that's an awesome idea. :victory:
The door will open, but only 180degrees and not 270, which doesn't matter cause the tire would hit the sidewall either ways.

Went to the scales today cause i needed a dry weight for my new registration as a rv.
Really happy with the weight.
Got all the desired paperwork:
Also got the net spare tire and rim:
Then we started building the next cabinet:
Did also some more insulation:

Tried my new chains today:
They`re a little bit too loose for my liking so i think i`ll shorten the inner ring. Not sure how to do that yet, but i got time until next season..
Then i mounted the freshly painted spare tirre carrier with the brand new spare:
Made some more cabinet doors:
And got some work done on the wardrobe:
Also put down a coat of paint:

I`m going to weld some carabiners to the brackets ,so it`ll look like a climbing route and serve as a wardrobe:
It`s pretty stout too, so i can hang stuff like backpacks on it also.
By the way, what 4wd drivetrain do you have? Oberaigner? Iglhaut? Something else?
It kills me like you wouldn't believe that we can't get any of that in US...
It`s the factory 4WD option. 2WD standart, push-button 4WD and also a rear locker.
