Hey Jen;

Gobi is the only way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I leave my spare in the garage until it's off-road/travel time...then put it up on the Gobi Stealth. It is an awesome rack!

Could you please post a close up picture of your jack mount? I'm trying to figure out how to mount my jack in the same locationa and I'd love to see how you did it.

Thanks!

(Looks great!)

I drilled 7/16" holes in the front squares where the factory off-road lights are mounted. Then used a piece of threaded 3/8"rod with a nut/washer behind the plate. In front, a rubber block about 1.5" thick then the jack, then a washer and nut.

The main problem with this set-up is that the hood won't open only 20% without removing the jack.

Best would be to mount it to the roof rack, but it won't fit in my garage. I know...neither will the tire, but it comes off between off-road events, and sits in the garage. If I can remember/find the time, I will try and get a close-up pic.

I am tempted to try and mount the jack just above the front grill lights, which are mounted, (using Harley/motorcycle chrome brackets) to the front brush guard. Don't know if the cycle brackets are strong enough to hold the jack.

Phil, I was bored so I cleaned your truck for you.

I mounted my Hi Lift at the rear.

[img]http://www.*******club.com/events/050910/images/032.jpg[/img]

Some 3/16" flat bar, a couple of 1/2" stainless bolts and wing nuts, and a couple of rubber blocks from those pickup tie downs. Took about 60 minutes to make and cost less than $15.00 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Interesting Phil...how about a close up of the attachment.

Just thought of another place to possibly attach...the outside rail of the rear ladder???

Ric

Hum2 10-04-2005 06:13 PM

Already is a bit too much weight with the ladder...need to find extra power plungers to replace factory's.

Absolutly no room for a spare up there but at this height I can get into any gas station car wash and parking garage etc.

I keep my spare in the back for the reasons Phil mentioned, i.e. the event of a flat . It's on my truck volt so does not leave much space, however this is not a DD anymore and groceries will still fit on the top of the spare or on the pasenger seats.

If I go camping with a lot of stuff I put it on top if I need I need the space. For a trip like Moab it will stay in the back. For a trip to the hardware store or Costco where I need space I take it out and take a risk

I can get it in and out of the back on my own easily enough but getting a 37 up top is a work out. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey Alec,

Do you worry about that tire becoming a 100+ lb missle if you have an accident?
