Spare Tire Storage

I think the MPG change would be more due to the wind resistance, than the additional weight.

VT maverick, if you are really close to getting into the garage, you may want to check out member zeus's ride. He reversed the rack mounting clips, to lower his rack a few inches. He did it for aesthetics, but if you are close, it could be all the distance you need.

Wow, I've never heard of a hitch not attaching to the frame. Maybe that's why our rigs aren't rated to tow anything.

Well, finished it and for the most part it works well. Have a few issues to work out, but no real biggy.

Love the space I have gained doing this. Also much easier rolling tire in and out rather then having to lift it to get it out.

On a side note. You notice the middle two photo's, the inside of the wheel looks,... different. I like most here had the chrome peeling issue. I took it to a local powder coat shop and had them media blast just the inside of the wheel then powder coat in in a chrome like finish. Moral of this story, if you like the stock wheels but have the chrome peeling problem, this might be a solution for you.
