Default Re: Gas can carrier

Well, that was a fast reply - not from Hummer corporate, but from the regional Hummer Product Manager. Figures that corporate is slow...I'll probably get my answer from corporate customer service in 2 months.

The regional product manager says that 33's nearly maxes out the mount on the back door....combine that with other stuff, and you're looking at a max of about 75 lbs hanging off the back of the mount at most.

Sucks, huh? Now I need to find someone that makes a NORMAL swing away carrier for my wife's truck.

Biggest tire they've tried and tested is in trials is a 35" tire with a 20" wheel...specfically a BFG AT TA/KO in 325/60R20. Just the difference in wheel weight plus tire weight is easily 50-60lbs.
