Has anyone adapted a Mantec tire carrier to a truck with a tailgate? It's hard to see from the photos how the carrier attaches to the rear door but I was thinking about fabricating an extension arm off the left side of the carrier (as viewed from behind the truck) that interfaces with a bracket that's mounted at the top of the tub nearest the tailgate. This arm/bracket would serve to secure and support the carrier when it's closed.
Thoughts?
