I'm 42 ... been driving since I was 16 .... I have NEVER had a flat tire. So either I am due for one ... or won't ever get one. I'll probably get some fix-a-flat to keep in the rear compartment just in case. For off-road I would just remove the rear seat and throw the spare in the back ....

I'm a fan of Defender 90's but don't have the $$$ for one. I think it looks more like a Defender 90 with the spare removed ....

I used christmas tree fasteners on mine. Plug the holes perfectly and easily removed if needed. Same fasteners used to attach the inner fender well liners and many other things on all vehicles.

So... how many Christmas trees have you fastened to the back and does Santa have trouble setting presents on your bumper.
