Well it has come to this. I stepped up to a set of treadwrights and needed a place for a fullsize spare. So I started with a simple hitch extension.

Welded in two plate sections and used 2x2 stock to build the arm for the tire mount.

Getting the angle for the set back and to match the lines of the window was a little tough. Please no comments on the welds, I'm still learning.
I was also able to weld in a nut for a place to attach my flag.
More pics to follow when tire is mounted.
