I just got my X setup with dual pipes and a flowmaster 40 - it sounds great. My problem is that the shop said there was no way to get around the gas tank, brake lines, etc and keep the spare tire. Not thinking about the consequences of having a flat... I said sure why not. Now I'm really starting to think about what I can do to keep the spare tire.
I've got about 26" of clearance underneath with the dual pipes - so there is no way the full-size spare will fit. I'm running 31" MTR's but held onto the original Wrangler spare that was there. My question is can i get by with say a 25" spare tire just incase I did have a remote break-down? Its a 4x4, but open differentials so maybe if the small tire was only used for a short distance it would work? Kinda like having a large donut. Is this crazy or maybe possible?
Other options are a Roof Rack or just going back to a single pipe. Keeping it inside isn't an option as we carry our 2 golden retrievers around back there.
Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
