Yah, seen all of those. Trouble is, I won't be happy with it unless it's perzakly what I want so I've already resigned myself to re-inventing the wheel (or at least the wheel carrier).

It hasta: fit tight against the rear door, easily flip down for access to hatch, not move during driving, never rattle, replicate the receiver for the SuperBumper, have a lighted license plate mount.
