Who has done it? Got a picture and can you tell me how you did. No I have not tried yet but my spare tire is on the way and I need to figure a mounting system up for both trucks.

Would it not look kewl on the roof, have not seen it done on Tahoe's. I have seen this method used on the older Jeep Cherokees where they opt to mount on a roof rack.

I'm not a short guy by any means (6'3") but trying to get a 85lbs+ tire off my roof....not going to happen. It is hard enough to climb up there to clean the roof. It will fit in the back no problem. I am more curious if anyone has modified the existing tire holder in there to accept a 35.
Regardless, I'll be tackling this starting in a week or so.

mudder trucker had a 38" mounted on the roof of his 4 door. I think it would be ideal to put a 35" on the roof of a 2 door. Add a roof rack. You got the look.

I perfer to keep it inside. For one, less chance to get stolen. It is $500 sitting on the roof. Inside keeps it in good condition too. It's just easier to get it out of the back than the roof. I know I can modify the rack in there for free rather than getting a roof rack and throwing more money into an easy problem
I've got that same thinkin about keepin it inside....shifty charactors be about!!
I'm thinking of just laying it centered in the back close behind the back seat, and maybe doing some kind of floor hold down bolt setup(yea, custom). I can pile all my stuff around/in the spare itself.
I think I might even still be able to fit my golf clubs....lol
