Wilco Tire Carrier
Any other LR3 owners out there with a Wilco tire carrier? I'm interested in the high clearance one, but curious if anyone had any experience/thoughts with them. Things I like:
1. Doesn't involve cutting off a piece of my bumper
2. Is technically removable and I can put it on any other vehicle in the future.
3. Still allows you to use your hitch (not that bumper mounted ones don't but this at least won't cost you a hitch)
I currently have the quick release hitch, but I'm a lil bit worried about clearance. I swear at some point somewhere I saw some guy in Australia that makes adaptors for the built in rear tow hook that converts it to a hitch (Edit: it is called the Mitch Hitch, and boy howdy is it expensive, not including shipping to the US) that would probably be my preferred mounting point to get that bad boi off the ground.

The Mitch hitch is made by Mitchell Bros 4x4 - https://www.mitchhitch.com.au/products/mitch-hitch
With the exchange rate i think you'll find it not too expensive for the benefits they provide, i fitted one within weeks of buying my D3.
