After taking out my crusty wheel cylinders I decided to take a look at the logistics of stuffing the spare back underneath. I know everyone is building swing outs these days and that's cool, but I just wanted a more tight package and better visibility to the rear than a sing out affords. I run a 35" spare and I wasn't sure it would fit, but after straping it up there and looking at the possible shock mounts and the space under there I think it will work. I just need to butcher up that cross member and build something else that allows the tire to go up in there higher. I might make the tire winch crank go in through the side under the fender, or maybe even through a small access panel in the bed floor, I'm not sure yet.
