Looking for a rear cargo rack that works with 50 mm through-bumper LX470 receiver (1 Viewer)

Has anyone found a hitch mount cargo rack that works with the OEM through-bumper receiver on an LX470? I've tried a few of them and they are either too long and hit the spare tire or are too thick (I guess a true 2" instead of 50 mm) and do not fit in the receiver.

Everything I've tried from Harbor Freight is too thick for the receiver. The one I tried that was too long belonged to a friend, and I'm not sure what brand it was.

Get the one that is "too long" and cut the excess tubing. Careful with placement of flammable objects directly behind the exhaust. Several posts of melting while going up long grades and such.

I use one from HF, but admittedly, I don't have the stock hitch any longer.

If you're having a difficult time finding one, you could also have a sleeve made to anchor in to your hitch and then slide the rack in to it. Would be super cheap and quick for a fab shop or neighbor with a welder to put together.

My buddy said I could cut an inch off his cargo rack, so I'm going to borrow his and do that. Thanks for the warning about exhaust heat.
