An Idea!

Well I was thinking full size spare tire, and i came up with this, I decided I am going to put a fabtech slanted spare tire holder (holding a 33x12.50) soon to be tsl, in the back of my explorer, sure it wont be much room on the inside but the only other way i can find is on top on my safari rack.... which means rollover skip! well i wanna know what you guys think!

I've had a 33, now a 35 in my roof rack since I've lifted my X. I haven't rolled yet. I'm waiting until I get a back bumper with a tire carrier. The roof is better than having it inside for me. My interior doesn't smell like rubber and I still have the cargo room which I use a lot. If you don't need the room and you don't mind rubber smell in your car then go for it.

That's how I have my "31 in my 2dr. And I didn't even need to install any hardware. I have two "12 subs in a box behind my rear seat. Then my tire leans back against that (or forward I should say). I strapped it down with two ratchet tie-downs to the frame hooks back there. Solid as a rock. Plus it keeps my speaker box from sliding around, or even worse if I roll it.
But since mine is a 2dr it has even less space to begin with. Now when I go grocery shopping all my bags are in the windows. It looks stupid, so I go stright home.

Raceit -

Here's a suggestion... get some 35s!

Actually, I'm thinking about doing the same thing to carry the spare in Woopah! once we finish. Will a 37 fit on that mount? Or will I be rigging something? Maybe I'd be better off making a rear carrier or a roof rack...
