Any thoughts or experience with something like these? Thinking this could be a good way to carry extra fuel, the high-lift, etc. without having to go up to the roof rack 12 feet up. Appreciate any thoughts - thanks.

Re: Swing away tire/crap holder
That does look good, however that tire is right in the way of your rear view mirror 
HOWEVER, looking at this thing and other versions, it would be very simple to make. After I do my front bumper, headache rack, and nurf bars I might look at doing some type of tire carrier.

Re: Swing away tire/crap holder
I've always thought that a custom bed/roof-top-tent/ladder rack/roll cage style rack with ability to hold 2 spare tires flat (one in front of the other), directly under the tent yet even with the roof line for unobstructed vision would be a cool set-up, then you would have the entire bed free & could even carry a 3rd spare if needed on a tire gate.

Re: Swing away tire/crap holder
I ran the Hitch Gate Tire Rack when I was running 34's and 35's. It was great for keeping the Spare and Jack handy. It was also nice to pull the pin and loosen the wedge and it was off the truck if I had to haul something long in the box. Build quality was great. The only things I change on it, was wire it for a licence plate light and stand the jack upright. Because mine was an early model I had to use a 2" spacer on the mount to bolt the tire on.(I think newer models had an adjustable mount)
