I'm thinking about buying a hitch basket to use when we go camping. I was just wondering if anyone had used one of these? How strong are they? Does the spare tire get in the way?

I got one I use for when we all drive down the beach around here. I got mine from harborfreight.com. It was missing some nuts and bolts becuase it didnt ship well but it works. I need to use a hacksaw to cut part of it to make it if around the spare tire. Mine tends to bounce around a bit so a tigher fitting one would be nice.

Check out the one that ACE makes....all their stuff seems to be well liked by jeepers

I have a Hitch-Haul brand one from Walmart. I use it for carrying all sorts of things...it is incredibly useful.










Not sure why I have so many pictures of things on the hitch rack, lol.

I have a Rola Carrier that I have been very happy with. Picked up my set of 35s tires/wheels with it. Held them like a champ!

got it from harbor freight for $100 weighs only 27lbs unloaded and holds 500lbs. Only bad thing is you can't open up the tail gate when its on

We have hauled wood, coolers, bikes, & etc. on ours and had no problems.
Just remember you can overload them.

You can always get a hitch extender if you need to. I don't have a basket, but got one for the hitch mounted bike rack.

I have one that looks like what 's in post #4. I comes in handy when carrying a lot on trips with a 2dr, and the OR-Fab carrier doesn't get in the way much either. The tire is up high enough that you still have some room under it.

just picked one up for camping trips. With a 2 door they are a must.
