Also, I like the look of the combined spare wheel carrier and high lift jack holder spotted at VanFest Syncro display last month. I guess that this probably belongs to a forum member (?). I'll post photos if I can work out how to. OK...here they are:
Edited to make images display. HM
Thats one of Syncropete's carriers modded to take the jack. The jack is one of CJ's - you can tell by the rusty handle

That rear quarter was like that before the wheel carrier was mounted.
Mike's van has got a few bashes and dings in it from when it lived in a german lime quarry.
