Well when the aftermarket gets going for the 08 KK, maybe someone will develop a swinging rear mounted spare gate! Possibly rock lizard, All J, ect.????hmmmmmmmmm theres a free one for ya. mount it where/with the stock rear hitch bolts attach to the frame. Yes it will be a pain to open the spare gate then the lift gate, but do you want east acess to the spare without keeping it inside or on top? There can also be jerry can holders on each side of the spare.
Already looking into it. Had a talk with Robert (Bob) DiTommaso, who is the product planning guy for the new KK, and I'm just waiting to get my hands on the CAD plans, or better yet, a new KK to tinker with. With the squared design, it will be a lot easier to design up something, and that tire underneath has to be moved.
