this is my current setup, i'd like to keep the front roof rail, and have a rack that fits behind it. no plans to put the spare up there, putting a 90 lb tire above my head isn't my idea of fun.

Take a look at this one, this is from Manik, and comes in powdercoated black

thanks brian. hard to get a good perspective from that shot alone, but it looks like what i want. i suppose this is a silly question, but does the ladder come with it? and does the ladder fit with the rear tire carrier?

 

No the ladder is seperate, and I do not believe it will work with the spare, all the pics i have seen of it shows it without the rear spare.
the ladder runs 99.99 plus shipping, and it is also available in a stainless for a little more money!

 

I also thought that the ladder wouldn't work with the spare tire carrier, and i was surprised when I saw a picture of an H2 with both the ladder and the spare tire carrier. If I find that picture again, I'll post it here.

 

Here's the pic, Shortbus. It's a Gobi roof rack with a Gobi ladder, and I guess an OEM spare tire carrier.

On second thought, It might not be an OEM spare tire carrier. It looks like it's more towards the left side instead of the middle. Got this shot from Elcova, but the guy may not be there anymore.
And I don't know if you might want to invest in another spare tire carrier like this one.

 

Patrick, can you delete my two posts above? Sorry, I thought only the picture would come out []

 

i've seen the gobi ladders mounted with the dealer added spare carrier, but they're a bit pricey, so i was looking for alternatives.

efrain, i didn't see your post about "shorterbus", i don't go to that forum anymore, more about egos than hummers. anyway, "shortbus" was already taken. really, the nerve of some people. [&o]

 

i knew about elcova, but I never went there. I just started going the past couple of weeks. those peole can really tear you apart. But I think that deep down they are cuddly fuzzy lovable people
