Default Hitch moto carrier + off-road / lift / 35s

Hi all, anyone have experience or can recommend a hitch mount moto carrier that's sturdy enough off-road and can clear a 35" rear spare. Running a 4" subframe lift, so possibly a drop hitch mount or swing away with a ramp... Preferably a carrier with an adjustable chock. E Moto is a full sized Enduro weighing ~180lbs.

You bought the L663 I was drooling over... I believe it was at the SLC dealer w that LR Denver plate frame last month? Winch on the front with red hook?

If so - Congrats. That might be my favorite build I’ve ever seen.

Yes sir. Thank you. I've been building custom Jeeps +10 years and decided I had enough, made the switch. Previous owner is from Crested Butte. I did my research to make sure the right people did a good job in the build. I'm pretty the happy with it.

@Mrnovember Can we see more pictures of this? Maybe the front end? This looks rad.

Sure! I should have better pictures after I get this hitch figured out and out on the trails.

I wouldn't be surprised if the previous owner is around here.

That is a beauty!

I recently made a move from CT to SC with my BMW GS310 (300 lbs) on a Harbor Freight hitch mount carrier. Granted my truck is not set up like yours. Rigging it carrier like I did made it completely rock solid. It was quite loose mounting the bike simply to the carrier. I also use the rear recovery hooks and the roof rack to secure the carrier and the bike.

Might be something to consider.
