Finally found a place for spare tire.....

Hmmm, looks nice, but not wheeling with that thing sticking off the back Anything too steep and you are dragging that rack on the ground. I already drag my hitch, but that thing looks badass!!

That's what I was thinking...departure angle will be effected...I guess if it is strong it will scrape and be ok

I was told by some when i first did the rear bumper that it would get hung up on ledges, but I had no problems. Thousands of Jeeps with carriers just like mine have made it through Moabs trails without breaking tire off. So I'm not to worried. And it can be removed in about 5 mins.
