    Now, this brings up yet another question. Okay, it's a given, the spare always go's on the front. But what about us that are not running the standard OEM tire as in 245/60/18 on the 00/01's.

    might as well take our your stock spare to save weight since its about useless w/ bigger tires

    Yeah, I just bought a full sized spare. After looking and looking for a generic steel rim with the same specs as my Chambers, I just gave up and bought another teflon Chamber (ouch) and another BFG A/T in the same size (ouch, ouch). But, now I feel confident I can get myself off the trail with no problems if I get a flat. I will probably carry the spare in my Coleman basket up top for trips and for normal driving I will just keep it in the back. I don't think I will be able to fit in my garage with the spare up top all the time (dammit).

    I have a sinister idea for my spare tire space in the tailgate.
