You can drill a new hole, I did. Just slide it in to the desired location and mark the new hole on both sides.

I love mine. I use it alot. Only issue was that hole. I did not like how far out it sat. Didnt help with the leverage either.

I had one of these. The only issue I had was I loaded a suit case on the side of the exhaust and it melted a hole in it. Apparently, there's a lot of heat coming out of that exhaust pipe lol.

I have one. Love it but needs support under the sides when loaded. It moves left and right under loads. And yes, the pin issue... needs to be closer to the jeep rahter than farther away. But great for coolers, chairs etc. Now that I have my trailer it just sits in the shed.
I've grown tired of this.

Been thinking about getting one and mounting it in the spare tire holder on the back of the LJ.
That would put it about level with the top of the tub for me.

When you mount a spare, you'll want to have it sticking out as far as possible for the taller items to clear.

What is the capacity of the aluminum one they have a killer deal on every now and then?
