Hello!
So it's getting to be travel season and I'm going back and forth between a Bronco or similar swing away carrier or a roof rack.
Main usage is going to be a for the tire, hello, and a jerry can. But we're also going to be some 55W Baja lights pretty soon. I don't think we'll be running any larger than 33's at any time in the near future. Potential roof rack is pictured, the tire carrier would be similar.
Here's my case
Roof Rack:
PRO
Able to add lightbar
Out of the way
CON
Jerry can would have to sit upright (direct sunlight and/or areodynamic issues?)
Wind noise
Credit
Swing Away:
PRO
Perfect for Tire plus can
CON
Impedes getting into hatch
Credit
So which would you use, like, or recommend? Fire away!
