Anyone had a go at converting their own bike rack to carry a spare wheel and peli box? If so what did you use?

I like the look of the HESS system just think it’s a bit expensive for some airline rails!

thought I would bump to see if there is anyone who has had a go!
 
I am planning to use some Slimline Cargo Track bolted to steel or aluminium box section;


And a Landrover Discovery Spare Wheel Carrier;

if you put the rack on the back you need to upgrade the
Wife wants to know if it's difficult to open the tailgate, and if the door stays open with the weight?
Hi Chris if you put a bike rack on the back you will need upgrade the gas struts as it won't stay up on the factory fit struts, if you plan to put the wheel and the case on then you need to use even stronger gas struts there are a few different types I got these (link) and they hold the wheel and the case up depending what I put in the case but I usually take the case down if I need to get in the back of the van as I more than likely need what's in the case anyway

there are a few different option and even strengthening brackets for the struts as the points where the gas struts connect could become week if they are used regally I haven't bothered as I am quite cerfull how I open the back and don't let it just pop up and don't use my van tailgate that much

These are the strengthening brackets link
