Not sure about this setup. Cool but impractical on many levels. Thoughts...

Cool, but man to change a spare I hope you ate your Wheaties for breakfast. That sucker is heavy.

Looks kind of cool, and increases departure angle; but his view is out the back is likely non-existent. I'm not sure those Smittybilt XRC corners are supposed to hold that much weight from the top, but then again I'm not too familiar with their construction.

Posted that 1 or 2 years ago from jeep beach.  Not useful.  Very difficult to work with, remove, etc. But admittedly you would rarely use the spare hopefully.

Spent time with the Knuckles fellas this morning at setup.  Great guys, meet and greet in ATL after Jeep beach I'm set for.  Then they are headed to Windrock.

I'm still torn on the usefulness of their tilt spare tire, but love that theirs can be bought straight or tilted, and go back and forth.

In my opinion... this should be posted in the WTF section... I see nothing good out of having your spare up there unless it is used to cushion a rollover.

Clearly more for style than functionality.
