I do not know, if the problem of the breaking doors is known in your country.
If you mount bigger wheels to the backdoor, you might get a crack between the window and right edge of the right door.
With a plate between the sparewheel carrier and the door you have additional leverage.

Hi Frank

Yes we do have this problem, and every GU's rear door I have opened so far is cracked there..... Im not sure if there is a permanent fix for this as mine is also cracked and I now have a 33" tyre hanging on it

The cheapest: on the roofrack
The best: separate sparewheel mounting

Something like that

Here is the shop: http://www.escape4x4.de/hd-stostange-hi ... 4/d-71020/

In Germany it is 700-900 Euro (10000 Rand), in SA it should be less expensive, you are closer to Australia :biggrin:
