External Tire Carrier

I am considering moving my spare to a rear mount. I'd prefer to avoid the added wight of a new number/swing out mount as my LC250 is a daily driver and the rear mount only has utility, to me, for off road excursions. Can someone recommend a hitch mount for the spare that is robust, solid (won't wiggle, sway) and would still accommodate a bike rack (bike rack would be utilized primarily for travel, not be used off road).

Dirtcom hitch-mount spare tire carrier is one of the best among many other similar products

I got the Kuat XD Pivot mainly to use with my 1up bike rack so I could swing the bike away for dog access. I also got the attachment hoop and mount for the tire, though I haven’t used it yet.

Main reason I haven’t relocated my spare is I live in California and can’t add a fuel tank here or I’ll fail emissions.

Been very happy with it so far.

I have the Rigd ultimate swing out tire carrier and it’s fantastic. Very robust and NO wiggle or movement. Used it camping so far and daily driving. Has the extra hitch to mount a bike carrier plus tow with it.
