Universal roof rack tire mount?

[IISPEEDYII]

Just wondering if anyone has seen anything? I've been searching for awhile and all I've seen are mounts that go with certain racks. Any one know of a standard one that would fit any rack? I want to mount a second spare in my rack and I can't find a mount that would work for any rack.

I have seen tri ratchet straps before........... Let me see if I can find it online somewhere & post a link (or you could make yourself)

This link is in Australia but I am sure you will have someone in the USA that does them

Go to trailer shop and they have universal spare tire mounts. You may need to modify it.

Wow he actually cracked the roof. May rethink this now... And good find on that, that thread gave me some ideas now

yup, I load my Gobi up for long treks throughout the summer, but I am mindful of weight. it adds up very quick if you're not careful. Between weight and center of gravity issues with a tire up top, I'm not a fan of that kind of set up. That and I'm only 5'6 and I can only imagine how miserable it would be to manhandle a 35 up there or back down without ****ing my rig up. no thanks..

Your rig looks so cool in those pictures, the space between the fenders is just perfect, and yeah idk I guess I have to rethink how I'm going to do this now, possibly a trail trailer then.

Thanks for the compliment any reason you wanna carry two spares?

Just incase two go down while I'm on a trail or camping, we usually go pretty far out when we camp and I guess its better to be safe than sorry haha

On board air and a tire plug kit saves weight and room

Agreed. I don't even carry 1 spare. Too damn heavy!

I carry one spare. I have seen good size tears in sidewalls in the rocks. Usually a plug kit will get you home but not everytime.
