anybody think or try to do this? like put the fith wheel on the side of the xj like the ******* jeep?

just a semi bored thought.. i havent really looked at it or thought much about the specifics.

it would be different thought.

what are your thoughts?

pros cons ?

 

One con is it'll get caught on trees, rocks, etc. when wheeling with it on the side like that.

Not to mention, I picture it looking pretty silly...

 

rip a nice big hole through the body..

or take the tree out.

silly or different?

 

Different in a silly way.

 

hahah thanks for the input man.

i got this idea from seing a carrier in my area for 20 bucks. and my brain took off from there.

 

Would suck for aerodynamics. Also it would just seem outta place on a boxy SUV. The reasons mentioned earlier are probably why a company hasn't made this for the XJ.

 

Also have the think of weight, those old ***** spares are much lighter then a wheel you put on your jeep unless you mount a donut and that would look silly

 

I think xj's need to keep their tires inside, on the back, or on the roof. I think the size of the ***** allowed for the side mount. My $.02.

 

Unless it's larger than a 33 then keep it off the room, makes it too top heavy. Never liked my spare out back, caught it on rocks and had to keep it almost flat so when it did hit it didn't rip off my bumper. Oddly enough I can fit a full size 38 in the rear.
