Looking for some input. I plan on mounting this cargo basket to my tire carrier mount by welding it to this bracket I found. I would like to weld it at the end of hitch insert so the rear window can open. Like so:
However, I’m worried about the weight being levered so far out over the rear when it’s loaded and bouncing around.
Should I mount it further in, toward the window, so the weight will be more centered over the tire? Like so:
I’d like to be able to open the window, but don’t want to break swing post off my tire carrier when I load dead elk quarters on it. Anyone have any input?
