[QUOTE="H D, post: 963224, member: 68494"] I had a thought...it may be stupid. It's just something I thought might be possible because of the difference between an Explorer and a Sport Trac because of the tailgate. But what if... ...a tire mount was built coming out through the top of the tailgate and basically hanging over the back of the tailgate. It would require reinforcing inside the tailgate, but you would still be able to drop the tailgate and use a bed extender or allow things to hang out the bed a little without having the tire carrier swung out to the side. You would have to make sure the tailgate could lay down without the tire interfering with the bumper and that the tailgate could support that kind of weight. This is just something that popped into my head and hasn't been thought out any more than the amount of time it took me to type this. Kinda been thinking about it as I was writing. Gotta go to work. I'll ponder this some more... [/QUOTE]
