ok so i was out looking at my jeep and had 2 very craz ideas for mounting the rear tire

1: a vertical tire carrier beyond rear seat, the brackets would mount the the tabs for the cubby hole cover and a welded or bolted tubing inside the hole itself (a L bracket i guess you would call it)

or

2: a carrier that connect to the attachment points for the rear seat, much like the skunkwerks carrier in thier rubicon jeep king

does anybody have any idea if one or both of these ideas would work, if not PLEASE talk me out of it but if you do think it would work i am going to need serious help in fabing this up

 

interested in also, as i have a plan to do swing down tail gate. For longer safari trips i will remove my rear seats anyway.
One plan i am thinkering in my head is a swing down rear tire carrier bolted on rear bumper. First i would lower my tire then reargate separately, using tire as a step. Feel it´s much more practical on where i make my camping trips.

 

that reminds me of the psc stinger bumper for the TJs, hmmm i wonder if i can find out how they make thiers

 

could you post a link where i could see pics of this stinger bumper...

 

LOL

One of the reason's I had to sell the short jeep was the lack of cargo space in back.

If I get a LWB jeep, but stick a 35" tire back there....I'd be undoing my new cargo room...

I'd also be bringing the mud/bog water into the jeep if I change a spare (BTDTGTTS...)



It could work for rigs that don't need the room back there/don't have upholstery anymore, etc.

 

I too thought about this before i purchased a rear bumper. A 35 inch tire will not fit behind the seat laying down or standing up against the side roll bar. You can slide it through and tilt it up on an angle and it will fit but you still loose your visibility.

 

i like the look of baja style spare tire mounts. that would look pretty sweet IMHO.

 

yeah thats what i want to do but i cant seem to figure out where to mount it
