So, if you did the loadout that I'm looking at (10gal fuel, Hi-Lift, and Pioneer), it's 126 lbs. The sad part is that I have absolutely no idea if the rack mount itself is rated for that level. I do know that the rack is adjustable to handle anywhere from an 8" to 13.5" tire width, so one could minimize the damaging leverage found in hanging something like that and place it close to the tire.

Maybe a question to ask - what is the largest wheel/tire size anyone has hanging on the back door and request an estimated weight. Deduct this from your wheel/tire weight and that would provide a safe weight that could be added.
