I put mine at ECXC on the roof with the stock rails and strapped... it was egh. I didn't like it because it would shift even strapped down. Then moved it to in between the rails sitting on the roof and it did much better for the weekend. Then taking it down wasn't that bad but still a pain. If you can put it in the back for the run portion it will work best. When driving tho you can hear the wind blow past the tire when on the roof. If you dont care about it then its fine.
As far as a cheap rack, look on amazon there is one that is lower profile for like $67/$68 or so but dont know about shipping tho. Just make sure if you get one of the cheaper ones you spray paint it really good bc they rust fairly quickly but they work. Sometimes the hardware is crap too.
I have since put my spare back under the X. LOL
Thats my 2 cents.
Well said! I just put a new tire on the rim. And put it up on the stock rack with 2 ratchets, crossed 4 times, it ain't moving. Just took me a few different attempts to figure out the best position. Yet another fail for xterra not having tiedown points. But I will get a basket soon enough and plastidip it.
