Totally Different Tongue Mounted Spare Tire Carrier

I'm in the process of removing my propane system (different story to be posted later once finished), and needed some way to replace the tongue weight from removing the propane tank. I have a Dutchmen Clamshell that only had a steel propane holder on the tongue. No room for the box.

Before:



After: I used a pressure treated 2x6, the original tire holder that was under the trailer, some angle iron, and appropriate bolts, fender washers, lock washers, lock nuts, and black spray paint.

    The best part is I finally get to use this. Bought it back in 2007, and it's been in the package the whole time.
