I know a guy with an H2 and has a gobi on the roof with his spare.... any ways his wife was driving it and drive it into a parking garage.... lets just say it didnt fit.

The stock roof rails will support the spare.  You just have to move them a little closer together.  Use good 0l' American ingenuity to tie it down securely.  Motorcycle bunji-cords won't do it. [;)]

The trick is getting the dang thing up there and then back down.  I think the spare weighs about 75 lbs.

so what do you do when you get a flat,and the other truck isnt around to help you get it down and back up again

CAMARO -> RE: SPARE TIRE MOUNTING (9/28/2007 7:39:53 AM)

WELL AT THAT POINT I WILL TIE ROPE AROUND TIRE AND LET DOWN SLOW WITH A PAD UNDER IT... I THINK ANYWAY... SAME WAY TO PUT IT BACK I THINK? OR STICK IT IN REAR.. BOTTOM LINE I HAVE NO CLUE........ ANDY[:)][:)][:)][:)]

I guess I am just tall, but I can just reach up there and place a tire up there [:D]

CAMARO -> RE: SPARE TIRE MOUNTING (9/28/2007 8:09:29 AM)

well,you could always get a roof rack and a ladder,if ya lived closer i could make ya one for cheap

Gobi isn't the only rack maker.... 

you can also consider getting one of those steps that fit into your receiver hitch.... and you can take it out anytime.

I saw that defender rack and I like it alot.  I plan on mounting my tire up on my roof as well with the defender rack and just using a small ratchet strap to hold it down.  Does anyone besides Gobi make a nice ladder?

CAMARO -> RE: SPARE TIRE MOUNTING (10/2/2007 12:06:31 PM)

I HAVE THE GOBI LATTER ITS NICE  ALSO I HAVE A VALLEY RACK 150.00 NOT TO BAD IT ALL SEEMS TO WORK OK....ANDY
