Spare tyre location on HZJ79?

[Serendib]

My 79 came with the spare tyre at the bottom. Since then I have put bigger wheels and I would like to relocate my spare tyre to the rear side (behind the wheel well) near the tail gate. Does anyone have any photos of the metal upside down U bar so that I know the design.

Many thanks

Are you talking about putting it under the rear of the tray body? If so I can give you some pics and measurements of some we made at work yesterday that take a standard hilux winder to lift the tyre. Note that the chassis is different for models that do not have the standar wheel carriers fitted.

I'm thinking it's a well body and is just after a braket to sit the tyre between the wheel arch and tail gate ?

Yes its a well body. Sorry, I should have made that clear before. Yes, I want the tyre to sit between the wheel arch and the tailgate. In the vehicle catalogue, I saw that its offered in some markets and it looks like a upside down U.
