Hey Im from Elko, NV... Can I ask you why you didn't get the longer one? Like the idea of the spare tire mount, wish I was mechanical and do what you did.
Hi Bryan
Elko, there’s bazillions of miles of trails.
Thanks for the compliment. It’s easy really. The tire mount was (of course) sold as for a Razr, but my Honda doesn’t know that! Remove the studs, mark the new wheel pattern, and drill. Take a lug nut to NAPA for new wheel lugs and drive them in. Cut a notch in the roof with a saber saw and bolt it on.
As for the rack, the longer one is just an insert for the one I have, which could be added. But it won’t be, as I’ve never come close to filling up the one I have.
