    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.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    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.
