I took the spare tire and started carrying it in the bed of the pick-up truck. Works OK for me. Of course, I have to remember to grab the spare tire whenever we go anywhere. So I have a pattern down now. Blue tote goes in the bed, next is the spare tire.
FYI: My bumper is rated to carry 600 pounds. There's a label on it for the factory installed hitch that's welded and reinforced under it. I'm not carrying anything near that heavy. Those two boxes are my sewer hoses and water hoses and a great space to put wet outside carpets when we get caught in rain.
Also, I get the carrier and cage at TSC (Tractor Supply Company).
