Not at all, I'll throw the spare tire carrier back on only if I'm going for long trips, other than that the spare stays in the garage....

Too bad we can just throw them on the hood like the old Landies.

I was debating whether to get the Gobi's Tire carrier for the roof, but it will be a task to mount and unmount due to the size and weight I have to mess with...

At least with the SUT you can stand in the bed...that would make it easier then getting the tire on top of an SUV.
I could have swore that I saw someone on the forum with a slantback spare tire mount on their H2. I can't find the thread or a pic anywhere now. I recall the pic was of a black SUT with a lift and custom bumpers...I don't know, but it was similar to this:

That looks pretty sweet, the closest I can find and possibly modify are these. Just get a good welder and fabricate a carrier in between the post.

Welders typically aren't that expensive...
...then get it powder coated and call it a day.
A local welding shop charged me $75 to mod my stock carrier to lift the tire up. http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...hlight=carrier
You just need a couple cross bars and a mounting point; which you could have cut from your stock arm...dunno...food for thought.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
The company that does most of my work moddified one of the above pictured bed bar set-ups to carry a spare. The guy had it on for a couple of years, but ended up ditching it because it rendered the bed useless.
I disagree with most of the opinions here. I like the look of the rear tire carrier. Without it, the truck looks too short, almost like someone smooshed it.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
I see your point but I personally like the fact that I don't have to swing my spare carrier open everytime I want to drop the tailgate. Plus I think it makes the truck seem wider gotta love fat rear ends. Well..to some extent. But it's all personal preference!

Looks awesome! Cut those bump stops off the front shocks, you'll never bottom them out.

The only time they rub is if I have the wheel turned all the way to the right and go in reverse, you can juuuust hear them rub. You would think if they rubbed, they would rub in either direction.
... but like I said, haaardly.
So you?re not running 12?s? How wide are you running?

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
I do run 12's, so they would rub more when turning then your 10's. Yea mine would catch the fender liners in reverse so I had to trim a lil off. Plus the Super Swamper is a true 40" measuring 40" which doesn't help.

My rims are 12?s...
And the 40?s measure like 39.7? tall when I measured them.
