Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Hidden pivot tire carrier

Any special projects involving a decent amount of fab work (bumpers, sliders, roof racks, etc)

I would throw my spare up on the roof but my mileage is already killing my bank account. my biggest concern would be it sticking out to far; it seems to be closer to the back of the car then others I have seen though. I look forward to seeing it with a tire on it :)

I took off my swingout recently and threw my tire up top. No change in mileage.

I'm in and out of my tailgate so often that it's easier. I can put the top section of the swingout back on when I need to load the rack.
