We have a Kaymar twin wheel carrier on the rear of our 95 GQ wagon. I don't have the rear light (
camp light or work light) but they are available. I bought
mine from TJM at Nerang on the
Gold Coast about Sept last year. Cost about $3000 all up, includes the drop tow bar tongue so my trailer doesn't point at the sky, and a
HF radio antenna bracket as
well. The Kaymar bar is strong as! Expensive, but
well worth the bucks. TJM also had the best deal out of the three big players in 4X4 accessories.
Don't know about a roof rack, found ours years ago second hand and cheap, but they're a bit hard to find sometimes. Keep an eye on the Trading Post, and forums like EO and also outerlimits.
Cheers
Brian

Daves pic below reminded me that I had to have new springs fitted to the rear of the truck to hold the bar!

You need a rear wheel carrier like this
They are expensive and heavy, unless your touring a lot might be better to carry a spare tire case on roof rack.

crackr,
I and few mates have bought racks off Greg Johnson at
Roof Cage Specialist
His prices are extremely competitive and he'll freight virtually anywhere in Australia.
No affiliation, just a very happy customer.
