If I did it all over again...
... my ideal swingout would be a 50/50 with a hinge by each tail light, each side carrying 2 aluminum AT fuel can holders. That way, you could carry any mix you need of fuel or water cans depending on the trip. 20 Gallons is a LOT of extra fuel or water and would almost double the range of my vehicle. Or, you could carry nothing at all or even fire wood in those if you do it right. Multi-purpose, configured to the mission.
The spare? That sucker would go back under the truck, putting more weight down low and improving my rearward visibility...
...YMMV :costumed-smiley-007
