    I did a forum search and found many great rear tire carriers both fabbed and bought, but none seem to allow room for a pintle hook mounted in it's original position or the original draw bar. My intention is to keep my rig as stock as possible and I will be running stock tires (hopefully NDTs) but where I want to go, a side mounted spare just isn't going to happen. Has anybody seen a carrier that will do what I need or have any other bright ideas??

    Thanks as always

    i had a receiver hitch welded into the rear bumper and th erear of it actually bolted to the pintle hook plate for support. I ran a pintle hook with an adapter for the reciever hitch. Just depends on the bumper design, you could easily make the bumper tie into the rear pintle plate, maybe sleeve th ebolts holes so they go throguh the bumper and into the pintle mount so you will have the pintle hook in the stock location, but just a bit forward on the bumper.
