I got a 40x50" surco rack for free and I'm trying to find a way to mount it.
It's a little smaller than what they recommend but I see people on here doing it I have the factory rack. Is there some way to get it mounted right?
I wanna be able to get my spare tire (33x12.5) and maybe a hi lift up there without free of it falling off on the freeway due to janky mounting.
Thanks guys

It didn't come with mounts? Mine cam with mounts that hooked up to my roof crossbars

Nope got it free. Just the rack. They recommend 45x50 or 45x60 so its a tad smLler

Actually. Yes it does have cross bars with factory mount clamps. But its to short crossbars won't reach my factory rails.

Will U bolts work? That would be the cheapest and easiest way.

Thought about turning it width ways and spread The 50" section to the factory rails so it would only be 40" length wise. Will gutter mounts reach??

What's holding the rack onto those smaller crossbars?

If they were small enough maybe.

My factory rails that move are hanky. They don't lock in place. The roof rails that are bolted to the roof are solid tho.

You can't mount it to the roof rails. Get some off these http://www.prolineracks.com/proline-...ter-racks.html

Just mounts.

God those look weak. Lol they will most likely fit on those rain gutter mounts I posted a link troo

This is what I'm looking for I think. Bolt this on. Unbolt rack from their crossbars and attach to these the same way its mounted to the old crossbar. And it should hold a good amount of weight. Thanks guys

Yupp. Will definitely hold a tire.

Since the cross bars u posted are longer I'm gonna use the original mount I posted that's on it and ubolt it down.
