Driving With Spare...

[rowhard]

Couldn't you go buy a steel 16 inch wheel and tire in the mean time, and then you would have a real spare whenever you go offroading.

I haven't measured it yet, but isn't the spare the same height as the factory tire, just not as wide.

I know that this probably won't help you at the moment, but don't know if you remember guys putting in switches to turn off the TOD monster, I always thought about getting around to it, just for instances like this. So maybe for the future.
