mine get strapped to the cage. Anything under my Jeep will just get banged on things... <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

zip tied to cage. I only keep spares in my rig when I'm wheelin. Why the hell do you need them on the street?!?! Actually now I remember having a U joint blow out on Hazel Ave going home. <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">
That was a few months before my brake line busted DOUBLE <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

Anyway, What the hell ya think AAA is for? just ask fo the flat bed, and don't tell them you have over a foot of lift...they won't come. FAWKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I just say, my rear wheel is just "wobbling". BAHAHAHA Sons of Beaches!

Hell yea, those are 90in wide. Heck I'm just a lil ole 84in side wall to side wall. <IMG SRC="smilies/blush2.gif" border="0"> I had a tape with me when the tow truck driver and I got into an argument. His tow company wouldn't let him tow it. ARGH! That really chaps my ass! ...Happy place Happy place Happy place...

Thanks bro. I really just try to crack myself up, an amused audience is a bonus! <IMG SRC="smilies/clown.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/massey.gif" border="0">

get a dana 60 and a 14bolt and don't worry about it.

Like above, run a 60 and a14 bolt. If you're poor like me... 1/2"square tube about 3"long and a piece of 1"x1" angle iron a couple inches long. Weld the square stock perpindicular to the frame then weld the angle to the box, parallel to the frame. Two of these per side of the frame spaced correctly will hold an axleshaft with hoseclamps quite nicely. Looking up towards the frame from below they look like "T's" poking out from the frame. I had those on my flatty and they were trail tested. Hammers, Moab, Rubicon...etc. I hit them maybe 1 or 2 times but you never know when you'll need them and they are always there. Gives people something to talk about when you roll over too!

I carry spare fronts and rears in my YJ. I use the floorspace right on the outside of the front seats. I put one front, and one rear per side. I just bungee them to the seat brackets. I used to tie them to the rollcage, but that made it a pain to put the top up and down. Another idea I've heard but haven't tried is zip tying them to the support struts under the hood that run from the grill to the firewall.
