Stuff one or two 35's in the back stacked. If you have even one the seats have to go unless it is at an angle or one behind the front seats with no rear seats and you won't have room to get groceries.


strap two more on the roof and your ready for Dakar!

 

HA! Hunner, you win. I'm going with this one!


Thanks guys. I think I'll stick with keeping the spare on the back until I can get a roof rack or maybe fabricate something like Dagkana suggested. As for the antenna, I'll probably fabricate something to attach behind the spare or to the luggage track on the roof and run the wire behind the rear pillar. I plan on using a 102" whip antenna, so I'll have to see just how rediculously high it will be if mounted on the roof. heh...

 

Friendly advice:

If you plan on removing the spare tire and covering up the breather/vent remember to still have the underside of whatever you cover it up with open (mesh, etc). Once you cover up that breather flap you will encounter all kinds of "issues" with the HVAC system.

I've seen it first hand.

 

Not sure if an H2 spare tire mount would fit in the back of a 3 or not. Might ask someone with a deuce and interior tire mount to measure theirs.
