I was thinking about renting a crane, but that's a couple hundred bucks an hour with a minimum of three hours. I could also call an Over the Road tire company with a portable crane to help. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Precisely my husband's thoughts when I told him I wanted my tire on a Gobi rack! I am sure with a little "motivation" CP could be persuaded to help with a bit more umph!

I guess the best way to remove the tire is to point UP a very steep hill, unbolt it and let the tire flllyyyyyyyyyy.

Will a 60" hi-lift with the tire attachment get it high enough?

Pretty nifty little gadget.

Good suggestins, gang, but not quite there yet.

What if I bounce it off the deck, into the P/U, stand it up and back the SUT up to it? Just not sure about the bouncing part.

Oh, Oh... I could buy one of those inflatable kiddie toys, put the tire on it and inflate the toy. Yeah!!!!

omg, all this time I thought you were having problem mounting onto a roof rack... instead you're talking about the rear tire carrier????!! YOU BLOODY WHIMP!! SUCK IT UP LAZYASS!! PUT A LITTLE BACK TO IT YOU USELESS BISH!!!

CP, I'm gonna send you a little whip to use on his lazy butt!

[KenP]

Are you still here?

I can't sell it until I have a viable alternative to carry it. It won't lie flat in the back like the little stockers.

Wuss. I know your spare is bigger than stock, but you should be able to heft it up there. Just make sure CP's not around with the video cam. I was glad I was inside my closed garage, alone when I mounted my spare. It might have been embarassing otherwise.

Or get one of these.

Teaka might have it cheaper.

Or, along the lines of a winch, custom fab a rear winch bumper, rig a pully on a flip up arm above the carrier and lift it up that way.

Pretend its a big, frosty cold Coors Light that you need to curl.

Here's what to do:

- Remove the tire carrier from the truck.
- Roll the spare into the garage.
- Place carrier in center of garage floor.
- Photograph the carrier.
- Put carrier on eBay.

Done!
