After some research, I saw z bloke with a toolbox/spare tyre mounting solution I thought was good and copied it....
Basically this mod goes:
cut off the current steel spare mount from the drawbar, removed the gas lines and mounts and regulator mounts:
Weld in a 1500 long crossmember (75x50x2 rhs) with a 75x 3 flatbar in the center welded to the next crossmember back
Mount a spare wheel winch from a 4wd ute on the new section (good idea to pre drill mounts before you weld the crossmember in)
Winch up the spare I set mine up so it cave reached with a 19mm socket (same as wheel nuts and stabiliser legs) and extension from the off side of the van:
Now the spare tyre is mounted, now to set up the box and gas cylinders (will do in a new post)
