what are you doing to make the cops harrass you for mud flaps, especially if you're only driving to the trails? lol

You don't have issues with side swiping mailboxes with your mudflaps?

I tried the hitch mount with shaky results, but I used thinner material like 3/16 or 1/8"... I built a swing away this time around with the same stuff with Better results

I was just driving it around the block to test out my driveway alignment after steering upgrade and the motorcycle cop wrote me fix-it tickets for the tire coverage and not having my drivers license on me, even though we were 2 blocks from my house and I offered to go grab my license. He said don't worry about it and put it on the ticket anyway. Sometimes you just run into officer douche, what can I say. As far as sideswiping mailboxes, the 14.5" wide pitbull tires on full width axles hit them before the mud flaps do.

I figured he would have given you more crap about the tail light being broken, even though its just the blinker section. Just explain to officer Douche you drive a station wagon, not a "look at my small penis f-350 lifted so high I have to get a running jump just to get in".
On the tire carrier, to each his own. If it works for you run with it.

Looks like it will work fine to me. No it's not the best most high clearance way but it works for you an you're happy with it. So that's all that matters. It's not an unsafe design. I say run it. I use a home made hitch carrier for my 240lb dirtbike that sticks out a good 18". Also holds two five gallon gas cans. I have had not a problem with it. Again I see no problem with your carrier.
