Ironmike4x4

I absolutely love mine. It's lightweight and inexpensive compared to the Yakhima racks. I have a spare tire mounted up there, but with it's light weight I wouldn't recommend loading it down too much. You can order a spare tire adapter, light brackets, and even a highlift jack adapter for it.

Dude read the rules... and FYI I don't know how to get the pics from an internet site onto this. This post will be deleted after you've understood the rules and deleted yours. Thank you.

if you plan to keep the spare tire on a roof rack using stock roof rails i would recommend reinforcing them. I used to keep my spare tire on my roof-rack till it tore all 4 of the tiny sheetmetal screws completely out of the sheet-metal while off-roading. The rack ended up dangling off the side of the truck hanging on only by the wires for the lights coming out of the roof. As a remedy i drilled the holes that had been made out bigger and ran bolts with washers. It won't ever come off after that.

pictures are gone from how i fixed it, the rack has since moved on to a new owner

still loved the rack, the OEM mounting point however is only designed for light loads in mild force conditions.

One of two things will happen, I will die, or the truck will be finished. I'm not sure which will be first.

This is what I see in the rules for this section regarding pictures:

I should have been clearer, but I was referring to people asking questions in this thread. This is just a products review section, if you have a question then PM the person or post it in another section.
