So since my new spare tire rim will not fit on the carrier under the trailer (it's an 8 bolt rim) and I'm moving the spare to the rear bumper, I will have all this open space (approx. 22" W X 48" L X 10" D) doing nothing (and I can't stand the thought of that!). I have decided (after much mulling over) to convert the carrier into a sliding storage space. Well it already slides so all I have to do is come up with some sort of box or cage to mount on top of the carrier. It will have a lot of room and be fairly accessible. I figure it would be good for things where it doesn't matter if they get wet or grimy. Stuff like tarps and even plastic storage crates with a lid (which would keep things relatively dry but clean). Any number of things. So it's off to the drawing board for me. Any ideas from the hinterlands?
