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...


That's almost exactly what mine looks like, the mod is nearly identical, my carrier is the older style with the pin that drops in instead of the latch. I also made a receiver like 'hitch' for a license plate holder, right in the center of that center tube support for the wheel. It pins in place and has a disconnect for the plate lights. Are you running a 37" tire now? Does the tire touch your carrier when you bolt it up?
