Hello and welcome to the forums. Yes, it can be removed, but depending upon your rear license plate/rear door configuration, you might have to purchase a rear lighted license plate bracket assembly which mounts onto to either side of the rear bumper, that is, unless your '05 has the type of rear door which already has the proper rear license plate mounting location built-in. I plan on also doing this, but only after finding a roof rack which accommodates the OEM spare tire/wheel assembly, as well as a rack which appears to be OEM....since I also prefer to keep the spare out of the cargo area altogether.

Hey!!! Welcome and I WANT PICS!!!! Someone else with 24's!!!
First off, I'M not a fan of having the spare on the back of the Rig, ESPECIALLY for a BALLER H2!! If you do want a CHEAP out, you can keep the spare on the back and just buy a nice Cover for the tire.
As EXTREME says(though I think they started them on '06), if you remove the spare/carrier, make sure there are LICENSE lights at the top of the Rear Pocket where the license plate would go. Again, I'm pretty sure they changed this in '06?
Chrome Tow Hooks are BOUNTIFUL!!! Personally, I like/have the Pro-One hooks. I just like the look better than any others out there. You may find a deal on them, but prepare to pay around $160-$200!!
These are the one's I have:

Yeah, I was the high bidder on that one until someone (ProAudio) 'sniped' me out of it within the last minute of the auction's end. By the time I placed my new bid it was too late, as my system decided at that point to run a virus scan update.
