Multi-Spare (frankensteining it)
So I have a spare mounted under my blazer, its a 4 door....
Now I have been looking at some ideas about getting a spare tire rack off a two door... there is a complete one here at the local pull and save... Now, what about the interior mounted spares? I have not found too much on those just yet.... What would you guys think of a blazer with an undermounted + back door mounted spare? Overkill? or just b. a. |
why not do a roof rack mounted one. no need to add holes to the body
|
Well by looking at it....
1. undermounted 2. back hatch.... 3. Back door 4. Roof rack.... That means I could potentially run a set of 32's and then when wanting to be streetable switch back on the way to the highway.... to the stocks... |
x2 on roof rack spare
then slap a spare on the front of the brush guard old farm truck style, and snag that spare mount out of a late 1st gen/Early 2 gen for the win! Mudding, hang on (45 minutes later) lets roll! what's that? de-icer all over the road? *45 mins later* good thing i carry 4 GD spares! lets roll! Saddly you will look semi-retarded, but F that, you can drive through a lava flow, re-mount new tires, and keep trucking! SUCK IT lava victims! http://upcomingdiscs.com/ecs_covers/...-dvd-large.jpg |

$65.98 seems like an awful damn lot to just move some bolts...

True, the blind spot isn't really that inconvienient. It always bothered me tho that on the two-doors they put a rear wiper that barely reaches beyond the spare tire diameter. |
