THE BEST MODIFICATION I'VE MADE TO MY LR4! (Terrafirma Spare Wheel Carrier)

In this video, I take a closer look at the Terrafirma Swingaway Spare Tire Carrier for the Land Rover LR3/LR4 (Discovery 3/4). This is my favorite modification that I've done thus far, restoring the classic look of the Land Rover whilst improving my departure angle off-road.

Great gear and well designed without excessive weight and size! Suits an overland style rig

[@jakeblakemore3808]

Deffo need one of these on my D4

[@markmoore3975]

Great looking LR4! I plan on similar mods, including the wheels, tire carrier, but also a Gobi Stealth rack & ladder on order.

[@TantersD3]

Looks very 😎 indeed

[@SuperYogbox]

it looks like you have installed a winch! could you talk more about that? Love the content!!!!

[@AllForTheBetter]

Let's see a video about thoes new LR wheels

[@jamesray3920]

I own 07 lr3 at first i wasnt thinking of tire carrier but I bought a Terrafirm rock sliders easy fit now I think I will buy the same one you have , I click on link said page no longer found but Atlantic British has them , I said i wasn't going to go too far on building my lr3 but that went out window I bought the black rhino arsenal rim 18inch matedto mickey Thompson baja legend A/T 275x65x18 full front runner roofrack pass on light bar for 4 compact 400 hella offroad lights thinking about front runner drawer system , or the slide out box system , I bought the 3in/2.5 Johnson rods , but I may pass on F/R drawers to use fold down seat as bed. Instead of rooftop tent but if I do buy rooftop it be hard shell by ikamper but I do like your carrier

[@pwatom22]

Looks like gas strut would interfere with opening the lower tailgate?

[@westla4x483]

It does not!

[@snigglesdgronch]

Does it ever get annoying/tiring having to swing the tire out every time you need to get something from the trunk?

[@GuniHunter]

Nice setup! I like the rear spare swing arm. May I ask you where do you have it done? What’s the name of the shop?

[@nusaman]

Great look mod. I’m also in LA. Do you mind telling me who installed this for you. 2 hours sounds like a fair cost. Thanks.

[@karna-bhati]

Love it!

[@escdefender]

Who did the install, and does it vibrate, shake or rattle on rough tracks?

[@nusaman]

Can you tell me who did the install for you in Los Angeles. Thanks

[@bubbawillis8769]

What Apple car play modification did you go with? Do you recommend for my 2016 LR4? Thank you

[@raph4013]

Hello love your video man, where did you get that rear wheel cover ? It looks beautiful

[@bogeydigital8600]

Did you look at the voyager option?

[@westla4x483]

Yeah. I know some guys who have it installed. The Terrafirma feels a lot more sturdy. Also keeps the wheel parallel to the truck, whereas the voyager unit keeps the wheel at an angle. I think the Terrafirma is a better design with better quality.

[@jbullock1878]

it does look awesome- is it a bit of a pain when getting to the rear hatch? that is the only reason I am hemming and hawing...

[@westla4x483]

It was before I added the rear tire cover. I hated having to touch a dirty tire/wheel every time I wanted to get into the trunk. But now it's just a slight hinderance, not enough to bother me anymore. Just part of the trunk opening process! Just sucks that I need two hands. I should've plastidipped the handle as well, because it is a bit jagged and I've heard a few coats of plastidip makes it easier to use.

[@Concrete_hell]

Where did you get that tire cover? It looks so fucking nice!!!

[@anandapal6759]

Really nice video - been eyeing a tire carrier for my LR4 (just got new set of wheels on it and have quite a whiles to go with my modifications). Frontrunner used to have a tire carrier like that (now discontinued) and am glad I bumped into your video! Keep the content coming - happy new year.

[@westla4x483]

Thanks! Having spoken to a Land Rover off-road shop about both the Terrafirma unit and the Front Runner one, they felt that the Terrafirma product is a better choice overall. Of course, it's the only option as the Front Runner is pretty much impossible to get, but I believe they are very similar.

[@johnnyle7147]

Where can I get that exact cover?!

[@rynoopperman5010]

What is around the lights? No handles at the back for pushing or recovery points in the front for towing?

[@westla4x483]

Around the lights are guards that are supposed to protect the lights from debris which could crack the lenses (although I put it on for aesthetic purposes). There is a hidden recovery point in the back (hidden by a piece of plastic trim), as well as a recovery point on the front end where my winch hook is clasped on to.

[@carrazer001]

What tires do you use?

[@bendbalfinancial813]

Hi mate, looking to get one of these carriers, it looks great and thank you for the review, very informative. have you had any other issues at all since fitting, i do worry a bit about the sensor and camera issues you spoke about, cheers Jase

[@westla4x483]

Actually, I was able to solve the sensor issue by adding a tire cover! There are no real camera issues since I fixed the parking sensors, I know they're set to be pretty conservative so I won't back into anything.

[@nvnsbl01]

What tire size are you running?

[@charliew8378]

At a guess, 265 65 18.
