mounting my spare ont eh roof question...

boostamante · Apr 30, 2009

would it be safe to mount it like this with similar straps? Just wondering cause i could see it being a better place to place as appose to the rear where i currently have it on a carrier.

the pic is not my vehicle just found it on another thread.

Probably be fine if you're not running 35's. I've seen a few guys run like that without any trouble.

I would suggest a third strap, chain, or whatever....that ties the two straps together and goes down through the slots of the wheel.

And if it falls off in BB, we all get to point and laugh

good idea. I was just thinking i would mount it that way if i was to need more room or just to eliviate weight in the rear. then again, im sure high center gravity wont help.

DOh! maybe i should mount it inside the car while on the trails...

What's wrong with it on the rear carrier?

Mounting it inside while out wheelin' is best. But sometimes you need the room for 'stuff', otherwise, the roof works fine.

meh, it all depends on how much crap i end up taking with me. I want to take My R/C crawler junk incase i find some cool stuff to crawl. then again, i have the 1:1 so who needs r/c's right?

Nothing is wrong with it, just seems real heavy back there. I can see my jeep sagging a bit in the rear. the tire is a 32"
