Need Bigger Tires
- Location
- Lincoln, NE
I've got a drop-in roof rack basket type deal thing. I built it a while ago and have used it some, but not enough, and I have another project in mind that this would help fund. It has 8 D-rings that are screwed and welded down for strapping crap down. Expanded metal bottom so you can throw stuff up there and not have it fall through like other racks. It also has a solid 1/4" plate in the center, towards the rear, for mounting a spare tire. I even have the hardware that I could send as well. I did rattle-can it flat black, but it may need touched up. It was my first welding project in a couple years, so while some of the welds aren't the prettiest, they are functional and strong. Who looks on top of the roof anyways? I'd like to get $225 but if you are seriously interested, shoot me a PM and make an offer. I'm testing waters to see what I can get for it right now, and if I can get what I'd like I'll sell.
plate for mounting tire
here is my regular size spare. It is made to fit a 255/85/16 KM2, because thats what I have. SO just over a 33.?" tire
how it mounts to the roof rack
mounted up
These are all pictures after it was built, I can get more recent ones if you'd like.
I'm not sure that it will fit a Gen 1, but I could measure if a Gen 1 owner is interested.
