Do they make a roof rack with the option to mount your spare tire up there?? I wonder how it would look or has someone done that...

If I don't stir the pot then no body will and the world would be boring, watch this guy for extreme sarcasm though :D

some of the companys make brackets that will let you mount your tire up there. But think of lifting the tire on and off , plus some tires/wheels weigh a good bit and changes how it will handle off road, well even on road

Tom, it's a 245/70/16... lol it's just a stock spare going up there!! So what do you think man?

Also the only time I would ever need my spare is if A: I was going down the highway and suddenly BOOM there goes my tire.. or B: I was being a Beavis and ran over some nails that I could CLEARLY SEE!
:P Not saying either of those have ever happened to me.. :oops:

I fabbed my rear tire carrier to bolt on the roof rack I made. It'll hurt your MPGs though.

I just had a brilliant idea joey... what if I custom fabbed an Aerodynamic wind piece for the front of the jeep and brought the slant up just enough to where it's level with the tire.. Wouldn't that help with the MPG kind of like a windbreaker?
