LOL, and that was with a ladder. Yes, need a compact winch tire lifter contraption.

Not too shabby. Like you said, cheap and not bad looking. Being a brand I never heard of, I would keep my eye on corrosion. Off brands usually are able to cut cost because of lack of $$ and time spent on welds and paint prep/quality.

Still, good deal.

Sue put one up in her garage. Maybe she can give you some feedback.

Installed a two pulley system in ceiling with an i-bolt in a big chunk of wood above ceiling.
Pulling the cord to raise the rack/tire/rim proved harder than expected (about 102 lbs), so we tied the cord to the superbumper on car to pull the cord to lift the rack and then lower it on truck. Worked great!
Tom the enginerd designed it for me. Thanks Tom!

I'm considering the Rolla and noticed that the dimensions are 52L x 40 1/2W x 6 Deep. It's my understand that some VXrs have purchased this one.

The one you just bought have a total diferent size in comparison...38 x 16.9 x 9.5 inches...Seems to me that the width is not correct in the website...Is it shorter because of the sunroof?

I will try and find my receipt for my Rolla basket but I paid 139. I think it was hitch anything.com????

...an eye bolt and a simple 4/1 rope purchase works well.
