H3 H3 spare tire rack options

[sherrod833]

I've been searching and this is the only one I have found other a few people who have fabled their own.http://www.outfitterdesign.com/spare-tire-rack.html

My question is, are there anymore out there that can be purchased?

 

[Highatop]

I have not seen any others for sale. Hunner, from here, I seen fabbed one and was nicer. Good luck

Do you already have a roof rack? If not, why not go that route first so you would could carry a lot more than on a spare tire rack.

I'm going with a roof rack also but the spare tire rack would be a quick spot for smaller things.

I'd be real careful about loading a rack mounted that way; it's looks like a great lever for springing the back door out of shape.

Hats what I decided, I got super close to buy materials for the rack I wanted


But you can do way more with the roof rack and it looks better

I wonder at what point it will mess up the rear door????

I have heard that before but having really used one I would say, "not yet"

I NEVER go on rough trails with mine loaded, duh?

Recon runs a 40" spare, I doubt a small rack would do anything to the rear door, it's sturdy. I have a 37" spare with no problems.

I'd use that tire rack for an ice chest to keep my beer and food I been wanting to make one like hunner's and use one of them already made hitch racks and make a bracket like his.

That rack is cantilevered on an arm from the center of the spare flange, so its load on the door is the result of much higher dynamic forces at a pot hole than the spare, which is fixed. I'd add a formed piece from the basket to the flange, between the spare and the door skin, to make it a "sandwich" and more rigid (assuming the wheel studs would be long enough). I've seen similar racks on Jeeps, but never saw any cantilevered like that.
