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??

Not really. The ones I saw fit easily on bigger tires. Here's one.

Added some spaces to kill the direct link. But I'm sure Yakima and Thule also have a similar solution. I tested and it worked fine on my 33. Plenty space for a 35.

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?

Heading to Cali for two weeks with my daughter to spend time with the family, and hit the rubicon (in my 2dr rubi), so space is valuable and with the
amount of gear I'm bringing, the bikes, a cargo rack would just really help out IMO. I'll put the fuel in the rotopax.

Knuckles offroad makes a stock carrier delete plate which can hold rotopax and has a receiver. They have a basket coming out for it but I have no idea if it will fit with the OR Fab carrier. I have the plate coming for my rotopax switch and will be talking to the owner about a basket which fits my OR Fab carrier.

This may be redneck, but couldn't you get a basket and ratchet strap it to the top bar on the carrier from the front and ratchet the back of the basket to the bottom of the carrier? It seems like that should hold stuff...
