Well, got the rack on with the lights.
Here's a couple pics. I'll take more once the axe/ shovel, highlift mount, and bike rack is all mounted.

Timgco - would this work with aftermarket wheels as well? I just picked up my truck today and have yet to take the back wheel off to see how it's mounted.
Secondly, would the Realwheels plate holder still work with the tire carrier on?

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by H2_SUT_SC:
Timgco - could you tell me how you mounted the spare w/o the gay plastic license plate holder. I'm desperate to find out how. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
you can remove the licens plate holder from the rear tire and still have your tire mounted. you just have a hub left sticking out. If you are after what I did, please read below.
OK, this isn't too bad if you have a sawzall with metal cutting balde and a file or grinder and some touch up paint.
First:
Take off that cheap license plate holder.
Second:
Measure out 1" in front of the center hub so you have enoughf to bite onto once you mount the spare tire back on.
Third:
Take the tire off and cut on the line you just made that mark. It is very important that you cut straight and leave enough there for your rim to mount onto too. You will also have to cut just enough off so that you can samp your center cap in there.
Fourth:
After cutting take your grinder or file and smooth out the rough edges left over from cutting. NO METAL SLIVERS!
Fifth: Mount your tire back on and than use black touch up paint where you cut. NO RUST!
SIXTH: I'm sure you would have already ordered a center cap before you did this project. snap this on after cranking those lug nuts down.
Now the tire is done and you just have to relocate your license plate. keep in mind that my plicens plate may not be legal. Even though I went to Autozone and picked up a license plaste light and rewired, it is not 100% visible. So my disclaimer is that, I'm not the one to balme if you get pulled over for this! Damnit! 
Other than that, this project took be about 90 minutes to do. I liked the fact that the license plate was up and out of the way, but I couldn't stand that plastic cover. Real Wheels offers some bling to replace that rear tire plate mount. If I did it all over again, I would have left it and upgraded the plate mount so there was not plastic, just PC'd black metal and I would have bolted it on instead of that plastic nut on the back. Someone could rip that off in about 30 seconds and your plate is gone.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Tim.
