The tire mount does look cool but laying the spare flat in the bed works too. I have found if you are buying a complete set of 4 tires they will throw in one certificate sometimes 2. That’s about the only cost savings I have been able to get.

But plugs, patches, and rotations are free. You know, “free”. Built into the purchase price. I’ve been going to Discount Tire for ever so the “free” I have paid for. I will say the road hazard replacement certificate paid for itself several times. Especially on my wife’s Audio. Low profile...

An old saying comes to mind. Get off my lawn kid!!! :)

You make several valid points.

It’s not listed. Clearly says no rim tire included. One must ask. Avoid any last minute surprises.

DIY approach. Go source a rim with matching lug pattern and same tire aftermarket.

Rim and tire not included with tire carrier option. Will an option to add a matching rim and tire from factory be added to the accessory options?

I too remember that episode. I guess that’s why you don’t see the tailgate nets anymore. Replace your tail gate with this net that increases mpg. Use to see a lot of them.

I would like to think since it’s a factory tire upgrade, they would adjust the speedo for the different size

This. Cool points over practical efficiency. The Gray Ghost (my pet name for my Slate) is going to be a commuter. If I were 100 % practical, I would keep it 100% stock. I have never kept any car, truck, or SUV I’ve owned stock.

I have decided to go with the lift kit and bigger tires than the base stock tire. Adding a little weight with the rear tire carrier as well. How much would range be effected by these changes? My commute situation does not make this a true concern, but I am curious if someone with more...

Yes. Spacers only should not necessitate spring compression and removal. New struts for the lift, then yes.

I’ve have never had the luxury of a lift to work on my vehicles. I’ve done lifts up to 6” and leveling kits on Wranglers, F150s, Grand Cherokee, Z71, old body box style Cherokee, and helped a few friends with their rides. Biggest PITA is the spring compression. While not perfect, working with...

4x4 only allows you to get stuck worse if you go in in 4x4. lol

She a big girl but not that big. When I checked online a few weeks ago I came up with 1,275. Today I’m finding 1,100. Sea-doo FishPro Scout that’s with an aluminum trailer. Manages to do 50mph with my 235lbs big boy arse on it
