i think the gutter mount looks sturdier and better looking with the wide stance but will this interfere with drainage and promote rust?
also, what's to stop some hoodlum from stepping up on your truck and pulling your wheel off the top? i'm not sure how you secure a giant wingnut like that. also, is there some welding goop on the threads in that 3rd picture?
love the idea though. you may even be able to fabricate a small diffuser/"chin spoiler" for the front of the basket to deflect some air over the top of the rack and tire and keep your wind noise down and MPG's up on the road.
