got it,...... DUH

Wow, that's a great idea and looks really good John! Could you put it on driver's side, so no visibility is reduced from our one "decent" window?

And once perfected, will you be selling a kit?

Sure you could, but you would have to shift it towards the center to clear the door as you put the tire in or out.

No kits planned, but if anyone whats to do it, would be happy to help

Looks good, not an option for me, I have to be able to put the kids in the back seats. That only leaves roof or door. I prefer door Roof is dangerous, plus like you said, it hurts to get it up there and back down. Seems if you keep it on the roof always, shouldn't you tire shine it everyone in awhile? It sits in the sun, all day, never gets used, can't be good for it.

That's why I put "Aerospace Protectant 303" on my spare on the roof, has SPF 40. and I applied it generously. It's not greasy/oily or anything, no residue at all.

Totally agree, can't be good sitting in the sun. At least Sue is taking car of her spare on her rack, I mean in her basket, so many don't. Like I said, the way your dealing with it is totally functional, just, well, you know.

They keep all those people together, I think its called an asylum? Or maybe prison, I can't remember which.

I picked up a $15 spare tire cover to put on the spare when its on the roof, that should help some.

nice work rowhard, I have been trying something similar with a sheet of plywood and some rubber strips that lay behind the backseat. it works pretty well, thinking about doing something a little more permanent, loses all cargo space, but maintains 4 seats

+1, I was scratching my head wondering why no one suggested this as the easy fix for keeping a roof mounted tire clean/healthy. You can also get logos on them if you pay extra (VT here we come ).

I havent seen a cover that will go over a 34-35" tire, of course I am sure they exist if I were to look...
as for the spare behind the seat, mine fits, but then I cant bring my tools and whatnot. Roof or door, those are my options
