H 2 SPARE TIRE RACK INSIDE OR OUT ?

[SHYANNE]

I might be getting a H 2 soon. I know with the spare tire outside you get more room inside .but isnt it really heavy and get old always having to undo the latch and swing it open all the time when you just need to throw something in quick ? and what if you have someone parked close and you cant open it all the way ? Who has it inside and outside and pro and cons on the diffrence of dealing with it on opening it alot everyday ?

Just have to worry about garage. will yours fit in a standard size garage or is it to tall ?

I like it on top!

I can't fit in the garage anyway and the extra cabin room is awesome

Do some searches on this topic. There are lots of discussions on this. I have mine mounted outside on a swing away tire carrier. I got the one that locks and has the drop down arm. It really doesn't block that much back window view either. It blocked more when it was behind the seat.

Yes, it's a pain to open up when you just want to throw something in quick, but the extra room you have is well worth it. I have the full bench 3rd row seat and can fit 3 kids back there. If you haul a lot of stuff you will like having the extra room.

You cant fit anything bigger than stock size tire or close to inside because it will be to tall. being all wheel drive you need a full size spare.
