Spare Tire on Gobi Roof Rack

[algy]

Gobi Stealth Rack - full size:



1st off I pulled the spare and bolted tire mount. Once the bolts are removed, they expose 4 holes and the machine drilling of these holes are not accurate, there is a gap between the body and door frame.

Next I moved the mount and used 8x 2 inch steal washers and 4 bolts w/ nuts and secured the tire mount to the gobi rack heavy duty steal mesh:





I decided to add a 3,000lb cargo strap to secure any vibration the tire may produce when driving:
