Coming from a truck that had the internal carrier, I'm pleased with the rear carrier. Up here, in the winter, the last thing I want to do is take a salty/sandy flat tire and throw it inside my clean interior, not to mention having to wrestle it onto that carrier inside. The added space is what I was after, and have accomplished that so I'm fairly content. Although, the swing out is a PITA if you are in and out of the back much, give and take I guess.

Actually I was referring to when I had the tire inside, lying flat in the cargo area...that worked well with my stock 35s, I was saying that I don't know if it would have worked with a larger tire 'cause I don't remember how much space I had left around it once it was in.
I eventually nixed that idea and went with an external carrier which I had modded as you described. One of my favorite mods...and cheap...
