Need help with a tire carrier

[Mike_Luchia]

Good day everyone,



My first post here.  I recently bought a 04 H2 and I totally love it, however I have to get that tire out of the back and onto a tire carrier.  I've found a few on eBay for $500 with I assume isn't just an outstanding deal on eBay, that it is probably not of a decent quality.  I've also found some on other sites for $1000+ with is very much on the edge of my budget, perhaps even a bit over.  I've also found a used on on Kajiji but it is $1350 with some modifications for a high lift jack.



I have found something that appears to be new on the market at http://blackpawinnovations.com/.  I have an email into the manufacturer about warranty and accessories that come with it for the price that is quoted, as well as shipping costs to Canada.  Has anybody ever used one of these on a Hummer and if so what is the quality of it?



Does anybody have a line on a good quality tire carrier that won't break my bank account and cause my wife to break my neck?



I would love to go with one of the Gobi roof racks with the tire carrier on there, but that is most definitely out of my price range.  The only alternative is to find a welding shop locally and see how much they would charge to put something together for me.



Thanks for any and all help and opinions that you can offer.

Hey Mike,



I expect to see you out at the next Alberta Trail run!!!



I have a 2008 H2  which comes with the arm on the back. Now it's much better than having the spare in the trunk.... but a bit of a pain if you do use the trunk alot....but you get used to it..



The Gobi racks are freakin high! so I'd ask around the metal shops and see if you can get one fabricated on a cash deal...

Hi Mike, welcome aboard.



I saw one listed in on Kijiji in Edmonton that may be worth a look.

That looks good... just make sure it also comes with the receiving latch...
