Spare Tire

The whole purpose of my roof rack, well... aside from looking cool, was to provide a place for my full size spare, which i finally got around to purchasing today! Its about time haha

Anyway here in southern Utah during the summer the average air temperature is well above 100 degrees, when you factor in the sun baking down on a black tire all day, the recipe is well... crispy fried tire. My solution: A tire cover, obviously... haha I picked this one up from Quadratec. Even though most everyone will never see "Life is good" written on the tire cover, i figured it was a nice touch for those who do see it. Its kinda my life motto. All though I'm not thrilled with the looks of having my spare covered up, i think it will play out to be good in the long run! Compromise sucks sometimes. Anyway i didn't have much time to take some good pictures, so here are ones i took real fast so you guys get the idea.

Anyway early next week ill bring my Canon SLR camera and go out and take some good action shots for COTM. In the meantime let me know what you think of the spare tire, and its cover! Hit or miss? I'm still currently undecided.

Im pretty sure u can only submit until the 19th for COTM amd tue spare is fine covered, ofcourse everyome would rather have it uncovered but due to the weather where you live covering it up and saving it to be usable when u need it will be better than for looks

That's good to know. I'll probably end up submitting on the 19 actually. My sliders get here the 17, so they will be painted that day, left overnight to dry, then Installed on the 18, and photos taken the 19, then submitted to COTM at the end of the day. Procrastination... It's apparently how I roll haha

Yup! In fact one of my old tires is on my roof rack. The new tire and wheel is currently mounted. So the spare is part of my tire rotation.

Buttery fresh steezin?!? Hahaha

No prob. It looks great. Now add a high-lift jack and an ax up there. Why an ax? Because you never know.

Well yes. I haven't quite decided between a hack n tap, or a full Sye. Regardless I need something because my driveline vibes are getting old. I don't do any extreme wheeling, and I'm not worried about the install of a hack n tap, but at the same time i hear sye's are worth the extra money so I dunno. I'm on a tight budget, but I also like to do things the right way so I'm currently undecided. What's your thoughts on the matter?
