Here are some pics of the "hitch" and spare tire mounted under. The factory spare cover is sagging and makes tire look closer to the ground than it is, will probably remove for the next trip.

Tire re-locator I used is linked here, lowers with a 3/4 socket like the stabilizer jacks, there was a bracket already under there that we used to help mount. Lowering nut fit right in one of the holes as shown in the last pic

Share your setup once complete! What additional support are you thinking?

For giggles I was going to hook my single seadoo to the back and watch the neighbors triple take as I drive by haha.

I just realized that I would need to flush the rear bumper like yours, BUT its where our bunk stabilizers/braces connect to. Dang, I didn't want to drill holes in the roof...... maybe the only 4 bike option. Dang dang dang!
