You need to hang around more man. Promise we wont make you spend anymore money..... without her permission of course.

....on that note, do you want that roof rack spare tire mount?? :)

lmao I will be popping in more often now that this semester is over too. I actually don't think I am going to put the tire up there for awhile atleast. The tire is nice and snug now underneath and actually looks good now that its not an OEM tire tread :P

I am excited for your bumper!! are you going to paint it to match the XK? or a flat white?

Matt
12-05-2012, 08:11 AM
Just flat white.... economy paint job for the time being. :)

Are you selling your rack Matt?!?!? ... That sounded kind of dirty hahaha

Matt
12-05-2012, 09:05 AM
No im keeping the rack, but I needed the cargo space back since the xk is now the baby hauler... hence im getting the SA bumper to carry my spare since this one is too big for underneath.

S how does that roof mount work? Will it work with factory roof rails, I may be interested..

Matt
12-05-2012, 09:34 AM
It needs a rola or yakima type basket to mount to.

12-05-2012, 09:42 AM
Damn Id consider a rack if I could get the low profile mounts like yours

Matt
12-05-2012, 09:49 AM
There's been a few similar setups people have built. They dont need to be a solid piece of aluminium like mine

Yeah I am getting the Rola Roof Rack w/ extension for X-mas I believe. I think I may like it with the OEM cross rails as it will be taller :)....we'll see

I do love your self made rails though Matt

Im spoiled right now and have a spot in the garage which Id like to keep so if I can get a rack to mount and still fit that would be ideal. Then when I go on long trips or wheeling I can mount spare on the roof and when Im local Ill have no need for the spare

Matt

How tall is your garage opening? I have about an inch of clearance and thats with the 1/2" spacer and bigger tires

06JeepXKHEMI
12-05-2012, 10:50 AM
It measures just about 81" and from floor to factory rails is just over 77" so it doesnt leave me much room

There seems to be a few spare tire mounts that dont require a rack anyone have any experiences with these?

Matt
12-05-2012, 01:22 PM
Have any links?? Start a thread. :)

This one is made by Rhino, looks simple enough

Matt
12-05-2012, 01:30 PM
Thats expensive... you can get a rola rack for about the same price and ratchet strap the tire to it

06JeepXKHEMI
12-05-2012, 01:36 PM
Yes but it comes down to the clearance issue for the garage, I would only use this on trips and wheeling adventures.. Id love to find a rack thats low profile I only have 4" to spare, not even cause 4 will hit

I will be adding pics of my most recent version of Matt's/Sal's roof cross bars risers this week if that will help you 06jeephemi
Also with the spare tire not on the roofrack I can fit in the garage as well. about 1/2" clearance, Standard Garage size
