More than a few of us run 32" tyres though. Either way, the rear view camera may well need to be relocated as you say.

On my POOTROL (I can say that now, we're getting a JEEP)the lights & indicators were in the bottom bar as well as the side panels with a high level LED reversing light/camera on the pack rack so the rubbish bag had nil effect and I'm only surmising the dimensions 'cause we 'aint got ours yet. Depending on what you do 4wding there has to be an option of double or single.

Running 32s would be pushing it..They'd have to touch otherwise they'd protrude beyond the rear domensions I think..63" would max it...Guess the camera would be in doubt then...2 on the rear would be ideal but tight..As for swing radius then..Well I don't own a Troopy or Pajero (so this could be crap)but did an LC once (wife hated it) guess the barn doors would swing about the same as a centre mounted maybe more...
