Full size spare tire

[Sirfun]

How bout if you offroad and want/need a spare tire. Weld a bracket onto that 1/8 stainless tailgate. Presto you got a spare tire mounted on the back.

I have a 2015 GTR it came with run flats and no spare. I ditched the run flats as they were too heavy. I did a 7500KM road trip frome edmonton douwn through central/westren stats and back. All I did was take a plug kit with me and a jack. Turned out fine. You people worry too much.

Different people tolerate risks differently. Plus a 7500KM road trip is much different than a 10 mile from civilization off-road trip. I’d like a spare, thank you. I’ve had three flat tires THIS YEAR ALONE, each one in a different vehicle. One didn’t have a spare, it was a PITA to deal with.

A plug kit would have worked in 2 of those 3 situations, but the third the seal was completely broken...wouldn’t have worked. And that was the car w/o the spare.

Welll...remember that the tailgate works as a ramp? Your idea is a good one, but would be a bit of a pain if that ramp is used regularly. I still like the frunk. But I get that a lot of that has to do with where I live and how I expect to use it.

Anybody thinking an air bag jack will be the way to with the CybrTrk? Since it has a compressor and power in the bed.

Just one example from Amazon

Ok, we're gonna need verification of how many off-road miles each of you guys have driven in a truck............or should I say each of you city slickers? This is confusing. Can you be an off-road city slicker? Asking for a friend...........

In this day and age can we just not identify as an offroader?

Is a jack needed if vehicle has adjustable height? Raise truck, add block, lower truck.
