That is pretty cool! Very clever. Don't think I would buy one though. I'm still trying to figure out a tire carrier that would suit my needs better.

I also talked to someone from GORHINO Products A while back and found out that the PRE-RUNNER LIGHTNING SERIES rack thing(clicky ) fits are trucks also and it has the option for the kickers with the spare tire mount. Its at te bottom of the page.

It flips out to put it outside the rear, looks like, if you had a bed extender it would be the same length as your bed with the tailgate down
