Good point. Hmmm, so, I will check with my local shop, but do you guys think having a full sized spare up top will cause me trouble (especially at Moab)? The last think I need is to tip my precious VX. I can probably carry it inside once I get to Moab, since I will be able to leave all my camping gear in the hotel, and that said I will be removing my donut spare to lighten the load for the trip.

Anyway, what suggestions do you all have?

Thanks - Bart
