Easy to install, use and inexpensive!

I recently purchased a 2000 Chevy Blazer ZR2. It's an SUV with the swing out spare tire (centered behind the tailgate). The hardest part about installing this was getting it out of the box! I'm the guy that trys to assemble/install first, read instructions second. Bear in mind there are a couple extra parts for accessories. Store those in a ziplock along with receipt. So yes, anyone can install this but don't forget you'll have to lift the spare tire off. This unit fits perfect on my stock tire. If felt like I had a little room to get it on a larger tire if needed. Once installed, the folding feature makes it nearly unnoticable. I installed mine over my spare tire cover (black). I cut a small 1" "x" slit in the center. You can feel the plate stem by hand and cut there. It's a personal preference. I also did this on my '95 Jeep Wrangler. I'm trying to think of cons about this unit...offer a model that can lock, offer different colors, offer adjustable width's.
So grab your coupon, buy your rack (and they'll UPS it) and get riding!
