Moved spare and HiLift to roof rack (pics)

[FloorIt]

Moved the spare and Hilift to the roof to free up room inside till I get a rear tire carrier. I thought it might feel top heavy around curves while driving, but really haven't noticed a difference. Tire and HiLift are both secured by a pad lock that uses my expedition ignition key, so no extra keys to carry around. Notice my mobile security system in the last picture.

I have a 37" tire in the rack. A 40" tire would fit. The rack is 48" X 60".

Getting it out of the roof rack won't be a problem. Getting it up there was a pain.

The rims are Mickey Thompson Classic Lock (simulated bead lock) You can get the ring in different anodized colors.

The lock works great!!! one less key (or in my case three) to carry around.
