Well if you happen to be cruising the trail at 100+mph and hit the brakes real real hard it might slide forward a bit and kill any passengers in the rear seats. Haha. But considering its only a trail rig I think its a great spot for one. I agree with you on the whole roof rack thing, they suck.

That Bumper looks a lot like the ROCK HARD w/o tire carrier (I LIKE IT)

I love the way they show the underside



Forklift FTW!

Talk about off topic.....


I like the way he has his spare tire, and I think the raked look would look bad ***.

this may not be an option, or if you have beadlocks it may not work (never had beadlocks, dont know how they affect a tire) but you could always just deflat the tire and it may be able to sit back there with the back seat still in. And then to reinflate either get one of those compressors made by slime that plug into the cigarette lighter that "supposedly" fills a tire in under 4 minutes, or use OBA if you have it.......thats all i can really think of to make it fit back there with the seat. That is just a guess though, never even threw a 33 in the back let alone a 35.

I have co2 and already do this

its not a rockhard bumper. try again. he copied it after olympic4x4. but thanks for the hijacking!

ohh very nice, with all the mods done to your jeep im sure you could figure this out, so i say go for it. And if that doesnt work, maybe mount it to the rear seat somehow? have it set at the angle the seat is so it fits? just an idea

dont really need a rear seat anyways

i know its an old thread, did you ever get around to doing something like this? i need a place to mount a spare 35 and i was thinking of the same idea today

is it hard to see out the back with the tire there?

I like it, gives me ideas to improve my schtuff

I have a 35" spare in the cargo compartment the seat back was modified with a little love from a BFH it's tight but works
