I'll throw up some pictures once the sun comes up. Just got the carrier with the spare mounted yesterday so I haven't had much time to drive it that way.

I've had Geolanders on my rig and on my Subaru. They're fantastic daily drivers and pretty decent on the rocks. They can take a beating. Better than the standard KOs in my opinion.

For those just looking at tire carriers, Curt lists this for front hitch position. I would definitely remove this if planning to go off road, but it's a convenient option for the full size spare. It will require a little modding since it interferes with my rear windscreen wiper.

I like them so far. Beats the snot out of the bald ones that it had. My Wife's Forester has Geolandars too, that's why I decided to go with them over Grabber's which were offered at the same price.

FWIW I've been running a Spartan in my 30 for a couple months now; slight clicking on hard turns in 2wd, hardly noticeable. Only used 4x with it once in some mud, did its job, got me through and out.

So I came home today to find several boxes waiting on my door step. Finally got my driver's side floor pan, new putco harness and Hella headlight. Note that I said headlight and not headlightS. Because apparently I don't read good. So another couple days waiting for my other headlight to ship, in the meantime I dropped in a new Optima Yellow Top which made the guys at Autozone practically crap themselves (apparently people in my area are generally too poor to buy Optimas) and then spent a literal hand numbing 30 minutes installing the battery and new wiper blades.

Did I do the thumb-plate thing right? Damn kids and your crazy fads. Get off my lawn, hippie.

Not so much an update as I checked something off the list. License plate relocation amd final mounting of the tire carrier .
