Cost effective tire mount option (roof)?

Hi folks,

To increase clearance below (and to give me access to clean and rust protect the rear valance areas) I wanted to mount my spare on my roof basket. I was going to simply use ratched straps but just wondered if anybody has any more secure yet cost effective solutions than ratchet straps?

It would be easy to come up from a cross bar, through the hub opening with a plate/nut of some sort to tighten down.

I would reconsider roof mounting personally if you can though. That's a tall lift for a (possibly) heavy, awkward round object. Not to mention if you're changing on the trail it's gonna be covered in mud. Then that weight is right at the very highest point of the truck. There are some cheaper alternate hitch mounting options out there, without having a full bumper/swingout.

Just my .02
