Default Spare Wheel Platform - Suggesstions needed

Hello everyone!!
This is my first post in the group.. sorry in advance if I am not following the protocols, if any.

I was looking for options to carry extra fuel, Rotopax water containers, and Recovery boards. I am also planning to have a roof tent so I cannot have them on the roof.
With my research I found 'American Adventure Lab's M.A.S.S. Spare Tire Platform Mini (STP Mini)' which looks promising as I can have everything mounted in the rear.

Does anyone has any experience with them?
I've read it's not advisable to add load or else it messes up with the alignments - not sure though.
I have also looked for other options like, BA Tent's spare tire mounts, Rotopax Ladder Mount Braket etc, however the one from American Adenture Lab looks one solution to all my needs.

Here's the link of the product - https://americanadventurelab.com/pro...platform-mini/

any suggestions are welcome

Saltek is nearing completion of development for a similar rack that attaches more to the fitting than the tire.

This is interesting..!!! It will be much more sturdy and durable if it gets directly connected to the fittings.

Thanks for sharing, I will keep a watch

Idk if you already have your tent but I have seen maybe people attach them to tents that come with tracks.

I find roto packs to leak after some time, I prefer nato Jerry cans for fuel and nato Jerry cans for water. Lucky 8 has the maxtrax’s holders and they are tough just like their rock sliders. Can’t go wrong with them.
