Oohhh!! Yup it had already happened by the time I walked back down the trail - so you're saying Jeremiah would be better off receiving a lump of coal rather than lockers this Christmas?

By the way, here's a shot of you preparing to launch up Goose Bumps (I like your aggressive seating position):



P.S. - Note how much the front end has risen verses the rear which has settled into an almost stuffed position.

True, but think if you actually have to use the spare. Now you'll have a dirty flat to put in on top of your seat.

Some of the electrons got lost Chris - sounds like you keep the rear seat in (folded down?) and then load the 40" spare and gear in the back?

I've wondered about a dirty spare also when one stores it in the vehicle. I suppose you could keep a tarp/plastic drop cloth handy and wrap up the offending tire-wheel in that prior to re-storing the spare.

Nope, 40 " spare fits in perfect with the seat in the upright position. Add a couple of construction garbage bags to the storage bin for wrapping the used spare in before you restore it and Voila!

Then you still have room to store stuff in and under the rear seats. Yup.


Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!
