Gen 3 Spare Wheel Delete was created by throwyourbike

I’ve decided to ditch the spare wheel and am looking for options to tidy up the boot door.

I’ve seen some examples in Japan with metal plates and I know there’s a Gen 4 cover available.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any other options and where to purchase them.

I have the same idea. Cannot remember having ever needed the spare wheel but murphys law will dictate me having a puncture the first time I leave home without the spare wheel I guess.
A tyre repair kit for pin hole repair, ekstra valves, an inflating can and on board air is more useful than a spare wheel.

Doing overlanding I would like to use the space on the door for a gas can, a bin bag, and possibly a water tight case of some sort. I can put the spare wheel on the roof for longer wilder trips.

But I will weld something bespoke myself.

As the BCD on the spare bracket is the same(?) as the gen4 Jimny it is not impossible to either rework or reuse a gen4 item on the gen3 maybe?
The spare wheel bracket are the same from Gen2 1982 until Gen3 2018 and allthough having only measured with a short glance it looks the same for Gen4 too.
