Default Spare tire delete

Is anyone running the Posion Spyder tramp stamp with the third brake light they offer? Would also like to see the other ways you have deleted spare tire and relocated the third brake light. I want to make the change but not sure how I want to relocate the light. Thanks everyone!

I did this awhile back, 6" led strip from auto zone and i just spliced it in to the 3rd brake light wires, never did come up with a liscens plate light though

Looks good, doing it that way never even crossed my mind. Im sure its way cheaper than the $40 bracket and light setup that Poison Spyder offers.
Thanks man

It's amazing how much weight you save while wheeling. The break over angle is a huge plus as well.

Something to think about though. Offroad parks that I have been to want you to have a full size spare to wheel.

My 3 pics were from Rausch A lot of people there run spareless. However, i just acquired a free trail spare and my 5th wheel is on its way. I'll just throw it in the back to wheel. I'll be regearing before i spend $600-800-1000 whatever for a bumper/ tire carier. Yes i know the Teraflex hinged carrier is only $500 and def a quality product, but i just think thats a LOT of money for what it is. Truth be told tho, theres a good chance I'll end up getting that lol

For wheeling purposes I always have a spare at the trail head. In Texas we have Private OHV Parks, and are never too far away for someone to pick up a tire.

Good idea. Never thought about leaving it at the staging area. We always go in a group so someone could run back and grab it. I mean except for once at the old Paragon park in PA, no one has ever looked for the spare. But it's best to have one to get home if you're not trailering. I always have just removed the rear seat and tied it down there.
