Rodewaryer Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have a plan to mod the bars that connect the factory roof rack rails in order to hold a cradle for a spare wheel/tire. Will it support the weight? I suppose the manual might have info on that but while I was here I thought I'd ask..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 In theory probably yes (though check the max weight the rails can hold), in practice it will probably depend on where you are carrying it. I suspect you'd find if you are carrying it on rough/corrugated roads in Africa (or here!) that the roof would split in a fairly short time due to fatigue.

Rodewaryer Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 You've likely got a point. Bummer, I was looking for a permanent solution to carrying the second spare and need it to be low in order to fit into a garage. That WAS the plan anyway......
