using trasharoo on 470 without rear tire. (1 Viewer)

[staffaction]

We purchased a trasharoo for our 470 but do not have a rear tire to attach it to. I've seen a vehicle or two around town that had this so I figured there must be a way.

Well, now that we have it I'm not quite sure. Best I can come up with is that could use 4 J hooks to attach each strap to the top and bottom of the rear hatch. But then I'm not sure how to find such hooks to attach to webbing.

This would then be a similar set up to our bike carrier that we attach to our hatch - it uses 4 j hooks then each strap tightens to hold it in place.

The other alternative is that the straps could reach all the way around the top and bottom and rear of hatch to clip in to each other but it's barely too short by a few inches.

Anyone have ideas for how to make trasharoo work or another product that can work without jerry rigging?

If you hang off the rear hatch the dust will eventually scratch your paint. I had it hanging off the rack but it also scratches the glass. So no matter what you probably want to avoid contact with the body.

Most of the times I'll just strap it to the roof rack and use it like a large cargo bag.

the straps are long enough to reach around the top and bottom of the upper hatch. I did it that way when I needed to before I got my rear bumper
