well.... that's still in the figuring.... I have some Ideas, but tomorrow, I am going to work on mounting a bracket to the main beam and running wires for a tag light below the tire on the upright. I'm thinking about wiring the tag light into my trailer lights for a easy disconnect. when I figure it out, I will definitely post pics and specs.

I'm using it as a recovery point directly off the trailer hitch the 1/4" square stock I believe is strong enough, and the D ring is rated at 12,000lbs.

I really like simple fab like this one. I live by the KISS rule, but in my case, It would have to hinge down so I could open the rear hatch.

X2 on putting it on a hinge so you can access the cargo area without taking the carrier off.
