[SwaintaN]

Ok know Im gonna get **** for this one, but i read and looked at so many pics, that im more confused now..... but what kinda spare tire options are there for 33s? besides roof top. is there any walk through how to make them? i read the inside walk through.. but i cant do it there.

Throw it in the back strapped down to the cargo hooks? I did that for a while. I built a wood box just tall enough for it so that I still had a flat surface in the back. I've seen some posts about modifying a full size bronco (or similar) carrier for the back.

Then your only options are to fabricate a tire carrier from scratch. Purchase a tire carrier made for another vehicle and modify it to fit, or throw it on the roof. I guess you could somehow mount it to the front bumper. . .approach angle and visibility would suck. Or on the side on the rear quarter panel, but then tight trails are a pain.

i thought about a custom bumper and swing out and all that, what would be the downfall to having it on the bumper etc?

It raises the center of gravity, of course it's better then the roof. It also limits visibility out of the rear glass and makes opening and closing the rear more cumbersome. It won't effect you departure angle if built properly.
