HELLO, HAS ANY BODY PUT SPARE TIRE ON STOCK H2 ROOF RAILS AND TIED DOWN? IF SO HOW DOES IT WORK? THANKS, ANDY

 

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.

 

75LBS YES I WAS HOPING SOMONE HAD THE TRICK TO GET IT UP THERE... WELL I WILL GIVE IT A TRY.. GOBI RACKS ARE NICE BUT TO MUCH $$$ FOR ME.. THANKS ANDY

 

WELL I DID IT TIRE IS UP THERE. I PULLED MY OTHER LIFTED PICK UP NEXT TO HUMMER AND LIFTED TIRE UP NO PROBLEMS.... THANKS, ANDY

 

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

 

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

 

NOT ME 5' 6" THERE IS NO PLACING ANYTHING UP THERE WITH OUT A LATTER...

 

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