Hello Jennifer,
When it comes to racks, there are probably only 4 letters you need to know:
G-O-B-I
You absolutely get what you pay for in life. GOBI rack aren't cheap but they are 100% worth what you pay.
My rack is rock solid and feels like an original part of the truck. I can walk on it, stomp on it and no deflection. It's a rock.
I looked at other racks... and all of the others I looked at were flimsy. None of them would have survived last weekend's trees.
My 2 cents...

Thank you for the responses. I'm tired of the tire in the rear being that I do take it in the rear alot!! Can't wait for the comments on that one!!
I'll keep in mind the clearance issue although it seems to me that if I only put it on top when necessary, it shouldn't be an issue.
Any top racks that come highly recommended for both tire and additional stuff?? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

An added bonus is the mesh is a great place for spotted owls to make thier nests. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Once again, "Oh My God Alec"! You're right!! Mesh it is! I can bring the spotted owls on vacation with me!! Talk about really taking care of them! Can you tell me how to arrange the nest up there or will she just do it on her own??
Did I just say "MY GOD ALEC"?????? I'm starting to really lose my mind in this forum!!

Jennifer, that tire must weight a ton, how do you do it to lug it around? I just don't carry a spare at all, I do have a tire inflator and a tire repair kit, and onstar. These tires are much stronger than the ordinary car tires, anyhow.  |

I like that cooler! Of course it doesn't help with her tire.

Good point! Duh. 
With the response of another question: How many of you have actualy had to just replace a tire while off roading to solve an "oh sh*t" problem?

I think that I well just go without a spare when I'm in town. I have read all the post's
about the pros & cons of the tire rack. I cant put it on top because I cant get into the garage.
I will put it in when we are leaving town, or going 4 wheeling.

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.

Wow, I can't belive you! WTF are you planning on doing with the poor shy spotted owls nest in your rear?
Don't even think about moving the nest to the roof, the shy spotted owl will leave it's babies if you even look at the current location.
Wow, how can you kill the innocent baby spotted owls just becuase you want to move your spare!!!!
 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Due to my overwhelming guilt, I spent the entire day catching mice and, one by one placing them around her tree. As a matter of fact, I've even gone as far as to gather up the cats in the neighborhood (for you ofcourse) to collect, bring to heights unknown and drop to the ground for dinner!! Yuk!
Did I make the ol' mighty Alec happy with keeping the shy spotted owls content and fed???
I'm tired from all this work and now, I want to know about my spare tire!!
