Rear Spare Tire Carrier - Pictures

Here are some pics I took late this afternoon. The first one is a close-up of the clamp. You can see how the very thick piece of metal is shaped (like a J) and how the U-bolt is tight against the Surco going into the hitch receiver. The other three pictures are of the various states of open hatches and lowered spare carrier.

I also bought a license plate relocation adapter (with light) and mounted it to the side of the spare. However, it does not move the plate enough to the left so the right side of it, with the year sticker, is not visible. I'm going cut the llight part off and use it to hold the plate inside the spare tire, where it used to be. That way I can be 100% legal - visible and lit.
