Re: Need New Rear Tire Carrier
I just went on GMPARTSDIRECT.COM and found a "Carrier Assy" for $599.02 (MSRP $976.24), which appears to be the tire carrier assembly for 2005-2007 H2s. I think this is the one I am referring to above, but I'm still not sure if this will simply bolt right up to my 2003 H2. And from the sketch they provide, I am also not exactly sure if the latch is the automatic one that I was also referring to above. Can anyone help me answer these two questions before I fork out $600?  Thanks again!!

Re: Need New Rear Tire Carrier
I have thought about that, especially when something like this happens. But, having the tire located inside the vehicle next to the third row seat really chews up the remaining room that I have inside the truck. At least the 3rd row seat is easy to take out when I need more room, but I don't think taking the spare out is as quick and easy (and even then, I would have to drive around without a spare when I need the room inside).

Re: Need New Rear Tire Carrier
Thanks for the suggestion on the gobi roof rack, but I think I want to keep the spare on the back of the truck though. I like it on the back of the truck because it is relatively easy to get to (not sure how I would ever lift the tire up onto the roof, or get it back down by myself if I ever needed to use the spare) and it is out of the way. I just don't like my current spare tire carrier and want to switch to the newer version that came on the 2005-2007 H2s...if it fits.

Getting it down is easy. Just throw it and hope it doesn't roll too far. |
