Rollbar spare tire mount

Ordered 2" greenhouse clamp (buttjoint style) from greenhouse supplier. Clamped to rollbar then to pipe stub with plate welded to it. Three wheel studs on plate. Could fit a 33" under rollbar. If I adjusted the stub pipe, maybe a 35". I don't crawl but use plenty of rough roads - holds spare well. Pictures if interested.

Clamp is removable from rollbar, adjustable up and down rollbar. Just need to weld a stub pipe to wheel plate, and drill holes for studs. Enough room between tire and rollbar to lay a hi-lift against the clamp and fasten in some way. The allen set screw leaves a dimple, if you are a purist.

I mean, the clamp action leaves an impression in rollbar.

I've had a bug in my brain for doing something like this the last couple days. I like this set up... looks a lot simpler than some of the other examples I've found. Thanks for posting.
