We want to mount the tire to the tongue but are concerned about tongue weight with our 2015 FWD Sienna van.  I found this and now we plan to mount the spare on the van roof.  You can use the step on the T@B too!  Nifty idea.  Follow the link as I can't seem to copy a picture.  Sharon

    Great idea!

    Don't forget to take it off before you leave. Argh!

    I have one that I plan to use to help me get my kayak onto the roof of the truck shell. It's sturdy, heavy, but useful.

    Nope. This one is sufficient for my needs. Remember, I'm short and need an extra boost to get a kayak on the roof of the shell.

    Verna, do you have the Hitchmate?  We just discovered that there is not enough room in our wheel well for this to fit?  Wonder if you have another brand.

    Yes, the canvas bag says Hitchmate. I made sure it fit or it was going into the garage sale pile.
