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

[06JeepXKHEMI]

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]

It measures just about 81" and from floor to factory rails is just over 77" so it doesnt leave me much room

[06JeepXKHEMI]

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

[Matt]

Have any links?? Start a thread.
