Not sure about that spare tire mount

  1. Spare tire mount doubles as a "kick stand", for when you go up hills that cause negative grade imbalance.

  2. That tire's not in a good spot if you're using it to hide 10 pounds of Columbian Cocaine while driving up the NJ Turnpike intending to hawk it to Upper West Side Manhattan Millennials.

  3. Not too sure about that roll cage, either; nicely shaped but the iron looks a little spindly.

  4. Easy to get to it there...generally speaking.

    1. No.
      My Blazer has a tire like that though not that high. That 50lb tire is pretty heavy, especially when you try to thread it on them support lugs.

  5. Having a short angle of departure on an off-road vehicle is important. Hanging a big tire of the back can defeat that advantage. Raising the tire keeps it from getting hung up on rocks. It's a tradeoff.

    1. And here I was thinking they did it that high just to clear the license plate!

      But also what Ghostsniper said. Them tires be heavy.
