Front Mount Trailer Hitch Spare Tire Adapter
Has anyone used one of these Front Mount Trailer Hitch Spare Tire Adapters on their REAR trailer hitch?

Nope, but I definitely like it. Anyone with oversized tires that don't fit under the truck could use it to free some bed space. I have a Yakima Hitch Bike rack that folds down when you pull a pin so that you can get into the back tailgate/hatch, too bad that doesn't have that feature.

also though of something else... its a 4 runner, with the tire mounted up that high, your back window becomes a solid door... you cant see through solid doors (unless you are Superman)

A while back someone made folding reciver mount carriers, but the weight of a large tire and the lever action on the length of the tube makes it shake like a pan of jiffy pop, and maybe fail and break. Best solution for spare tire mounting is in order,
-Stock
-Custom/aftermarket bumper carrier (well made!)
-On roof rack / in bed
-Forget it, just carry a tire repair kit, a 12V compressor and maybe throw in the spare for long trips.
