honestly there is NO SECRET! all i did was 1. remove the compact spare. 2. remove the surrounding heat shield and bits. 3. remove the rubber bumpstops. 4. position the New Zeon spare using the OEM spare cable hoist- spokes UP! 5. hoist spare up noting approx 40deg angle for entry until fully engaged and flush with the compartment. Voila!Ok I just spent two hours out trying to position the Zeon LTZ in the spare location and still "have plenty of room" to install the hitch. What's the secret tomasesto? did you cut out any of the metal near the exhaust?
(note: you may need to deflate, spin, angle, nudge, and patience for fitment) i did this on my 2005 LR3 years ago and showed several friends "how to" or "talked thru" on other 05, 06, 07 LR3 models with plenty room and function for use with their OEM hitch WITHOUT removing their ZEON spare. will post pix of my rig showing current placement
