I dont have a roof rack yet. Any ways of getting it to fit?

Go here http://expeditionexchange.com/disco2tires/ and do good things.

Would it hurt if I in the tire on backwards, where the tire would stick out more? Or is that putting too much stress on the carrier?

However, I'm not running a stock rear bumper either, so that may make a difference.   Alen Babayan (Alen) New Member Username: Alen Post Number: 34 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, May 02, 2003 - 09:53 am:    Stuffed mine in the cargo area standing up and strapped to the side.
