Side mounted spare on a jk?

Anyone ever found a way to mount there spare wheel on the side of the JK? I love the way it looks on the old CJs and they did it on the JT concept but i was wondering if it was possible to do on a JK 2 door?

thoughts?

Without serious reinforcement the jk sheet metal is far to weak.

Plus everytime you look in your side mirror there is a BF Goodrich trying to pass you!

LMAO...
I don't think it would hold on the side, plus it'll just make you wider.

If you take the cover off that storage bin thing your spare tire fits nice and low behind the seat and doesn't block your view.
