We need to make something similar to what they have and keep it low profile and close to the truck and not weigh 500#'s

x2 I agree. and swing out spare is kind of nice too.

I never did like swing out spares. Especially w/the swing gate of the H3, you gotta upen two things to get to the back - i'm always in the back of my truck and it's a pain opening both.

I think putting the spare up top and having a rack attached to the spare mounting bolts would be the trick. If you flipped this design upside down and had the rack line up w/the bottom of the rear door and attach to the spare bolts, that would be less stress on the door and it would look pretty cool too.

Damn Paul, nice modeling software! You thought it out well. I loaded mine with a 40 Qt cooler packed to the rim with ice & sody pops, saw no difference on the rear door. Mine sits sturdy with that 3rd rear leg, it really doesn't do any levering on the framework, I'm good with it...but I wouldn't make it too big. Mine's 14x25x4".

Remember all, this isn't loaded up every day, just an added space to put some stuff. My trip to Moab ( and skiing in Breckenridge), will require a fully loaded roof rack, cargo bag, rear tire rack & interior....unless I want to pull a trailer over the Rockies. That rear rack will allow me to store like 8 extra square feet of stuff for the road, and will make my kids much happier.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. It would definately take the stress off of the rear door.

Stopped by fab shop today for test fit, everything tack weld and had to do some minor mods. They should have fully welded up today, looks like I won't get it powder coated before the MOAB trip but at least I'll have it to do a shake down run with for any final design changes.

Pics?? I took off the rear spare carrier yesterday, but didn't have time to weigh it. Gonna weigh it and the spare today to get an idea on how much the rear door was originally test with. Then, if you remove the spare and carrier, it will tell you (roughly) what you can carry without too much worry. I tell ya, though, that carrier is a lot heavier than I thought!

SR looks great.
You just clear it on your wiper,not that is does much good.


A question: Hows the aftermarket hitch working out,do you get hung up offroading?
I dont know if I should get that type or get a custom one put in my bumper.Thanks
