Making plans for my new to me Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK)
It currently has the spare tire under back end. You can modify the existing space to fit the largest tire I plan to run and it doesn't seem to hurt ground clearance, so I am going to keep the spare there. I still would like a rear swing away of some kind for storing the crap I don't want in the vehicle:
Fuel cans
Hi-lift
Shovel/axe
pre-attached recovery strap wind up
I know the common answer is a roof rack, but I prefer to shy away. Later I would like to have the option for a RTT and after having several I hate the economy loss that a roof rack leads to.
The first battle is making the attachment to the vehicle, but I am confident I can handle that. I need some inspiration for layout of the storage. Does anyone know of a vehicle that has a mount like this or have pictures of options? Any help would be appreciated.
