Wheel Carriers

[warrenpfo]

Just a question but are there any aftermarket wheel carriers that remove the need for drilling holes in the rear body for clips or brackets. I have seen a few that pivot off the rear bumper but not sure if they then require a whole new rear custom bumper to mount too or if they bolt underneath. I think they still require you to mount some sort of plate on the rear tailgate to clip too.

What I am really looking for is a bolt on under the body swing out wheel carrier that then has some sort of catch that locks in place in the pivot. Or second best is a bumper with a rear wheel carrier that swings out that then locks to the bumper with a catch rather than the rear tailgate.

I am not a fan of drilling holes in perfectly good body work.

Kaymar make a nice expensive one, IEF Engineering in South Africa make a nice one, and a few folk here have made their own as well - bolt under the bumper to the chassis rail and then the carrier pivots out ...

Here's an IEF replacement bumper:

Here's the bolt-on:
