Default OR FAB Carrier + Cargo Basket

Do they make a solution? Can't find anything searched twice. Nothing on the MFG Website and Quadratec has a HighRock but it appears to be made for the Stock setup. Any information would be great.

You would need a cargo carrier that mounts above the tire. The OR-FAB tire carrier pushes the spare too far back to use a hitch mount cargo carrier.

Something like this....

Thanks OH9JK that's the plan but I am having a hellofa time finding something that will mount above the tire and fasten to the OR FAB. Maybe no OR FAB Owners have one?? Must be all the four doors I could put in my hitch extender but plan on using that for my Mtn. Bike Carrier. Maybe a dual receiver??

I simply use a hitch extender for a hitch mounted cargo carrier for extra gear.

EDIT: Just realized you plan to carry bikes with your hitch. My bad. What are you trying to utilize the carrier for exactly? Bags? Fuel?

If you are planning It to carry a bicycle, there are solutions in the market by Thule, Yakima and others that strap around the spare tire and can carry up to two bikes. It's not the Thule Spare Me. I cannot remember the names now but if you google something like spare tire mounted bike carriers they should come up. I'm planning to buy one since I also have the Or-Fab carrier.

Those bike racks are all limited to tire sizes of 32" I checked :(
