    They keep all those people together, I think its called an asylum? Or maybe prison, I can't remember which.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I picked up a $15 spare tire cover to put on the spare when its on the roof, that should help some.

    nice work rowhard, I have been trying something similar with a sheet of plywood and some rubber strips that lay behind the backseat. it works pretty well, thinking about doing something a little more permanent, loses all cargo space, but maintains 4 seats

    +1, I was scratching my head wondering why no one suggested this as the easy fix for keeping a roof mounted tire clean/healthy. You can also get logos on them if you pay extra (VT here we come ).

    I havent seen a cover that will go over a 34-35" tire, of course I am sure they exist if I were to look...
    as for the spare behind the seat, mine fits, but then I cant bring my tools and whatnot. Roof or door, those are my options

    This one comes in any size from 27"-35", though it gets pricey (about $100) at the top end. If you don't require the charming logo () they can be had for as little as $35.
