No worries!

I had a 2-door JK a few years back, and yeah, I rolled sans spare tire for a while, but never while actually off pavement. That's just asking for it. Lol

I like the way it looks, keeps me off the ground if I do have to utilize my spare tire, eliminates some of the downward rake in my front end due to the weight shift to the rear of the vehicle. And I'm admittedly enjoying how this mod has apparently befuddled many of the masses. 😂

Not planning to, really. On the extremely rare instances I need to haul something large in the bed, then I would just undo the hitch pin, slide the spare out, load up, and put the spare tire back.

Good thing I'm not trying to please the masses with the look of my own vehicle, huh? 🙂

LOL...I didn't think about that, but hey, if it works! Ha ha ha

😂 I won't argue that point!

Yup, I feel you!

Yeah, definitely seemed weird when the guy told me they don't work on Mavericks. Oh well, no big deal. I'm happy with the OEM drop in (especially since I got it so cheap!).

All good. Also, this placement helps partially eliminate some of the remaining downward rake I had on the front end, even after the leveling springs install. 👍

Big facts! 👍

Copy. I hear you. Those tonneau covers are nice, though. 👍

Obscured by the spare tire for the most part, but all good. I'm old enough to have reversed a vehicle prior to the advent of backup cameras. 😂

All good. To your point, to each their own. 👍

Honestly, I don't haul much in the bed, either. When I do, it's usually smaller stuff (groceries, etc.) that I just hoist over the bed side.

Jumping from the OEM P225/65R17s to the meatier P235/65R18 had me driving towards a full size spare instead of the dinky "pizza cutter" Maxxis temp spare. I don't tow anything, however, my XL did come with the Ford OEM tow hitch...decided to use it for a hitch mounted spare tire carrier. Curt's...

I've had the Ford OEM Modular Bedliner (Part # NZ6Z9900038A) sitting in my tool shed for several weeks now. Finally got a chance to install the thing in my XL today. Installation was fairly straightforward (there's a couple of good YT videos out there for anyone that elects to undertake the...

David, I'm willing to meet you halfway (somewhere in VA.?) if you really want them. They're just taking up space in my garage. :crackup:

I appreciate that, thanks!

Konig lists them as 17.41 lbs./each. A marked savings over the 27.2 lbs./each weight of the OEM 17" steel wheels. 🙂
