hey, i welded a piece of channel steel to mine, with three 1/2" bolts welded into three holes on mine over where it went on the stock carrier, and ran a 33 on it for years! i'd post pics, but i don't have the jeep anymore. i'll post a pic of what it looked like, though...
One idea could be to inflate the spare to seal the bead, then let all the air out. That would save some weight.
Cute....I knew a guy that actually though that to be true :dunno:
You don't think compressed air has weight?
