I added the basket for my small gas can. I'm just about done. Will probably get it powder coated soon.

Sure I got pics! Here's the old one, it just held the tire. So I've improved on my basic design a bit.

. Yeah that would be cool. I'd take $80 for it. It has a hitch welded to the bottom for a small trailer. That way you don't need to remove the carrier to pull. Only thing I didn't like about it was the angle I cut the tube at for the tire. It was too much for me so I shimmed one if the bolts with washers and a nut. Just to kick the tire back down a bit. Works great, never had any issues with it.

I like it with the gas cans. It may look a bit like its sticking out too far, but with only so much real estate you can only do so much!

Thanks man, yeah not a lot of room to add the cans and tire considering where I'm mounted at. If I had made a swing out that's connected to my bumper I could of probably sucked it in more. But, it's been fine so far offroad. Haven't hung up on anything yet. Since my receiver was built into the bumper it sits up a little higher vs a factory tow package. So I gained a little clearance with my bumper.

I like it, I made something similar one time. If you were going to add a bigger tire I would add a 2x2 gusset under that wing. Build something else!
