Bought this used folding basket on my route with the intention of using on my rear receiver but it hits spare tire.
I have a front receiver from a multi mount winch I had so tried it there.
I like to Fred Sanford stuff people throw away and go beach combing for driftwood or anything else I find and find myself needing a basket.
Does it look stupid putting it in front until I can figure a way to extend mount or just put it in back and just leave it down.

It looks fine, almost african safari style. Wal-mart or advance auto should sell a 2" hitch extender, usually 18" long.

I'll chime in first and say it does look a little odd in the front and it takes away from the classic jeep grill. What you can do is go to Harbor Freight as they have a receiver extension that will help you clear that spare and you can fold it up in the back. I paid under $20 for mine and now I don't even use it since I deleted my spare. I plan on getting a tire carrier so I will end up using it again. Let me know if you want to see a pic of it and I'll snap one for you.

 

Looks seriously bad ass! jk looks horrible.

I understand the usefulness of this as I see a lot of similar stuff here at the beach. I personally don't like it as it hides the front of the jeep. I would move it to the back with an extension ( as others recommended) or just put it on the front when you need to use it and remove when you don't.

 

I don't know that I'm too fond of the look, myself. On the other hand, it definitely has a bit of a Safari-type look to it, and does look very utilitarian, which is really what the Jeep was meant to dress like, so I guess I'm torn.

 

sometimes we have to sacrifice appearance for function. with that said, if your setup does what you intended who cares. BTW it dosn't look all that bad to me

 

X2 on the harbor freight extension.

 

X2 on if it fits your needs.
