I found mine on Craigslist but it came without mounts. I bought the JCR gutter mounts and mounted it as close to the roof as possible. I like how it turned out.

The ones I've found on CL, the seller wants way to much money for them or they look like crap.

Mine wasn't in the greatest shape but it was $300 for a rack that's normally $740 plus no shipping cost. It wasn't cheap, but I'm happy with the way it turned out.

All the accessory mounts are $$$$ too so I made my own tire mount for about $10 in materials.

I wanted to mount my spare on a rack, but I plan to use my jeep for hunting. We hunt the Gila and a flying brick already does terrible on gas, no need for more drag haha. I think I might run the detour spare carrier thats hitch mounted, and possibly do a second off set reciever for that on my rear bumper

I saw no measurable drop in mileage.

I just like the rack. I don't understand why most companies mount them so high.

Alot of people drive street queens, those people enjoy simple bolt on installation. Most racks that are high mount above the factory cross bars. Now if they had all the cutomers remove those first they can make a lower more streamline mount
