need suggestions for 37" spare
 

I have a Toyo 37 inch spare on a 20" rim, prior to towing I had a rear rack which I would leave the spare on. I purchased a toy hauler and the spare hits the front jack so I had to remove it. Now I have it sitting in the back area and it takes up way too much space.

I have the option of leaving the rear rack on and removing the spare each time I tow which would be a PIA. I was considering getting a GOBI rack and leaving the spare on the roof but those racks are about 2k and the tire seems quite heavy.

Maybe I can just leave the tire on the roof using the factory roof rack and secure it that way? If I let it sit up there would it get damaged sitting in the sun?

Any thoughts?

Buy some sort of rack. GOBI is one of the better ones out there. I've had a few.

DON'T try to strap that tire to the roof rails!!! The last thing you want is a 35" tire bouncing down the freeway!!!!

There is a GOBI sport rack that holds only the tire. It is cheaper that the full length. Frenzy has this rack.

Some sort of rack is what you need....if you don;t park in a low garage.

Looked into the roof rack, decided to throw in the towel and buy a diesel truck! Better mpg, higher tow capacity, safer for towing, etc. I ll still keep the h2 though.

I have my 37" spare on the roof. lol. You know a Gobi rack is allot less money than a new diesel truck! lol. But I gotta say you did it right. You will be much happier towing that thing with diesel than a H2.

How did you mount it to the roof??

:jump:
He decided to mount it on the roof of his diesel truck. Now he always has his H2 37" spare with him when he tows his toy hauler.

Actually I decided not to get the truck (cant afford it now, nor do I have the space) and simply remove the spare tire from the rear rack every time I tow. Only takes 2 minutes to remove and have the system where I life the tire by myself....
