I want a bear bow in the worst way, so I'm not even going to ask which one. My bow is getting tired, once I get a new one this one will be retired to bow fishing.

Damn that's cool. I actually have been driving around with a jeep dog tag attached to a Keep commander matchbox that my son found at a geocache hunt... I figured close enough to the look. But ill be looking for one of those JL Cherokees. I had a JL 1975 RS Camaro that matched my car to a t.

No! I was going to tell you that. I put my tire back in hatch for now with my high lift. The tire strapped to the stock roof rack is bad business especially if your driving over 50mph and on a windy day. The stock hardware is not strong at all and it could rip those screws out and you'd loose the rack and tire.

I had mine secured tight to both arms of the roof rack with two criss crossed ratchet straps but when I was heading out to Jake's shop I had to stop half way and take tire down. It was extremely windy that day and when I'd hit 55mph I could hear it stressing the rack so I said F this and pulled over on highway. If your trail riding or puttin around town you'd be ok but not on highways I wouldn't recommend it.
Edit: And I may have been imagining it but over 35mph it felt like I had a elephant on the roof and it seemed like the drag was pulling me around the road a bit.

Yeah I'm still trying to come up with a good effective solution myself that is cost effective also. It takes up too much room in the hatch so I guess I'm going to be making a roof rack as long as it is durable I don't care how it looks what I'm going to get some metal together, draw something up and have at it. Not anytime in the next week or so though.

Electrical conduit is cheap and effective. Personally I don't like having the tire up there, you know... low cog is my game lol, that and I don't want to wind up like Scott in the quarry
