First off, dont get mad. I tried searching google, and on the the forum and cant seem to find any info on this lol

Here we go! Will a 33x12.50 tire be able to fit in the cargo area of a Cherokee with it being centered side to side, the balk seat up, and the hatch still close?
I can build a mount pretty easily, but i want to know if it fits first. I know I could just simply pull out my 33'' spare and see if it fits, but im deployed right now and the jeep isnt very easy to reach lol I have a good chance to get a bolt in flat style tire mount and would like to jump on it. anybody want to help me out? pics would be prefered!!

here is a write up on moding to fit a 32 back there but i bet you could get a 33 if you did this.

Alright! Thats what i wanted to see lol Do you think it would have fit being in the middle? it would have to sit on top of the little hump thing on the floor, but it looks like it might work.

btw, I love the ammo can!

I had a 35x12.5x15, standing center against the back seat. Just used a ratchet strap to hold it. Didn't move.

Alrighty then, I'll take your word for it lol Ill be looking into flat mount tire holders tomorrow. If i can build one easily myself I will, but if they are cheap enough ill just buy it to save time.
The far future plan is 37s, but I will have 2 bucket seat in the back by then so fitment will not be an issue... I hope

The whole reason I asked if a 33x12.50 tire will fit in the back is becuase I want to build a similar cargo setup as this guys WJ

I like the drawer slides for the table top surface. Pretty sweet idea.

I have a 34x10.50 LTB that lays flat in the back, but it doesn't have much tread.

I mostly want the rack system so I can carry all my gear easier. But I showed it to my wife, and she really wants me to make the slide out table too lol

Im really starting to think a 33x12.50 will fit, it will be pretty tight, but I think I can make it work. Just need to figure out a way to secure it well.
