Weight on rear doors (E-Series)
How much weight have you hung, or would you hang, on your rear doors? Is there a spec for this somewhere?
Our van came with the stock spare mounted on the rear door. Since then we've moved up to 265/75r16s and have kept the spare on the door without any issues. I'm guessing this weighs ~80lbs.
I've been toying with the idea of a rear swing out bike rack attached to the stock bumper. Then I thought why not on the door like the spare on a lot of vans? It would be much simpler but the door would need to handle about 100lbs for two bikes and the rack. That and the centre of gravity would be further out from the door than a spare tire.
Has anyone done anything similar? In a perfect world I'd just get an Aluminess bumper and be done with it but for the price I'm probably better off buying a new bike everywhere I go.
