Has any one purchased one of these? How was the fitment?

Had to Google it. Looks pretty cool but, I have no experience with them.

I looked into buying one, but decided the standard model would hang too low below the bumper, and the high clearance one would be too high and make it so I couldn't open the tailgate, and would need modification/welding to be perfect. Also, with my particular hitch (the V style), the anti-rattle mechanism was too long and would have hit the back of hitch box, so I would have had to cut the back of the hitch receiver out, and was worried about loss of structure.

So I gave up on it.

Alright fellas got the Hitchgate solo XL, and installed it on my factory hitch with a little modification works perfect. Will post pictures later.

Was looking into this a while ago - I have an aux tank where the spare should go, and if I'm taking a longer trip usually don't have room for a spare in the cargo area. Would love to see pics and feedback after you have a couple miles on it!

Looks like a great way to get the ZJ tire out of the back...

Looks great! Even room for a jerry can back there behind the tire...

I put a rotopax 3 gallon back there. It works well.
