spare wheel carrier

Can some of you guys post up some pics of your spare wheel carriers.

I am looking at making one to carrie my spare 35x12.5. because i don't want to put it in the truck or underneath(not that it will fit in the standard spare wheel carrier).

Cheers

No problems. Never even thought of how it looks in the pic, but very easy to grab in reality. I access the back often and wouldn't want it to be a pain to open.

It does stick out a little more than I thought that it might:

Tweaked it a little bit:

Not sure if I totally like how the angle came out, but the welding work was free (THANKS Todd ) it is still better than straight up...
