Default What to do with spare tire and carrier

When you do a delete from the tailgate?

Put it on your wall in the basement and hook up the brake light/add some extra LEDs



Whenever we go on a longer trip or trail ride I can just pull the wheel off the wall and toss it in the back.

Happy Jeepin!

Awesome. I've been contemplating deleting my spare, but I drive 30 miles a day right now. I'll probably take it off once fall semester starts again and I only drive 1 mile.

My luck I would get rid of it and then. I would get a flat the following week.

To me the spare on the back of the Jeep is a must plus its a Icon. I mean having a bad ass meaty mud tire hanging off the back tells people that you mean business.

My spare has seen more mud than most lifted Ford trucks in my town. Sad part is it has 0 miles on it. It just gets covered with mud every time I go mudding.
