Tire-mounted ski rack

[keefer112]

My buddy had this ski rack laying around in his garage. Think it's a Thule 9033, but he didn't have the hitch portion. I cut off a bit of the plastic ends, put some foam around the bars against the tailgate, and run a ratchet strap around the tire...good to go. I can easily fit 4 pair of skis on it, not a wiggle seen on the road. Skis do get dirty on the road so I wipe them off before storing.

Got more photos and how well this worked for you as well as what you modded on the rack before strapping it on? Just a single strap and some foam? You said you cut some plastic off. How has it been.
