should i, now that i have made my rear bumper, put a spare tire carrier on the back of it? i'm goin to put a rack on the back for cooler, tools, spare shiat; if i put a spare tire carrier, then the rack is goin to be up pretty high, so i don't know it that would be a bad thing, any pros/cons to this?
something like this

picture isnt working, but you have a tow rig, just leave all the heavy stuff in the bed. thats what i'm going to do for a while at least. the baja style rack i built sucks. can't see anything out the back. its in the process of getting chopped off.

well, i already started, the rack is goin to be above line of sight for the back, only the spare tire will be slightly blockin view, but not too bad, i'll get some pics up probably this weekend

It seems as though that rack would interfere at some point or another. It it ever collided with anything, I doubt it would win.

May as well drive a bobbed Toy or MAZDA. Storage room with no overhang.

it's goin to be a solid mount tire carrier, and i'm goin to put the rack in the back part, not over the tire, since i'm building a box to put my gas tank in, i'll just put the rack on top of that

whatever ya do make sure it has the ability to be spun while a drunk person is duct-taped across it.
