    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    well done, ive been toying with this idea for a while now.. been trying to figure out how to do a mix between what you did with the mount and rowhards space saving design.

    I did explore the vertical mount concept but it blocks the already limited view to the rear. For stability and good anchorage (in case I am in an accident) I opted for horizontal with dual 1/4" aluminum brackets, 4 good sized bolts and double washers. It's not going to go flying around the inside after an impact. Also I just like the sporty look and aesthetic symmetry of the tire mounted this way. And, I can unmount the tire and remove the tire mount from the floor in about 2 minutes.

    Actually, there is very little impact
