Really nice work; and thanks for the side view I requested! My only concern would be flex. If the carrier flexes enough the tire could contact the window. Have you done any testing on that issue? Perhaps a bumper stop could be installed between the mount and the tail gate to prevent contact between the tire and window.

We have shaken it and we are don't believe there is enough movement to contact the window. Thanks for the bumper idea of the bumper we will look into trying it out

Can you make one so you can still tow a trailer?
What you have done looks really nice and tight. Well done.

Thank you, yes we can do that I just wasn't going to be towing anything with mine so I choose not to put a hitch on it

Are you still thinking of adding gussets or have you determined not necessary?
