Default Spare tire replacement

Hi, I'm looking to buy a set of 4 35's and go w/o a spare on the back. I've seen jeeps with something that looks like a hard plastic cover but it's actually skinnier than a tire. If you know what i'm talking about can you point me in the right direction.

Sounds like you're looking for something to cover the area where the spare tire carrier bolts on. If so, it's likely the tramp stamp.

I'd recommend getting yourself a full size spare to atleast throw in the back for wheeling. Even if it's a completely worn, free tire like i have. You can't get off the trail on 3 wheels

Agreed 100% if you wreck a wheel or tire out on the trail and no spare, bad news!! A few guys that I wheel with like the no back tire look, but they will always have a spare strapped in the back. I've seen some great gate covers.. If I did this, I would find a shop with a laser table and make it personal..
