Okay...How many of you (non-fullsized) run with spares at or over 39.5"'s? I'm thinking anything over 3 miles and I'll carry one...Somehow. But I'll leave the spare chanded to the trailer under that distance...Cruses for example...Moab I might consider taking it...But where the heck am I gonna' keep that 42" and my lunch? Too much weight on top, and 100% of my load space (with fuel cell) in the bed...O'well, better than humpin' a 42" tire and rim for 4 miles...But hey, what are friends for?! :) :eek:

--D

Carry a tube if you run beadlocks.

Or you can get a 38 x 11 Bogger and air it up and air the 42's down to match heights.

Spend your money on beadlocks instead of that huge spare, and just carry some tubes, some plugs, and some wire to sew a huge gash back up if needed....

A 38.5x11 bogger is damn near the same height as a 39.5" TSL, I would think it could work with a bigger tire too. Personally I would just wheel with other rigs and carry alot of tire plugs

yeah, plugs and wire sound like a plan. If you're running bias plys anyway and you're not too heavily loaded, you probably could just drive it out with no air in it!

i have no idea where i can haul even one. my little bll does'nt have an abundance of space.if i get the cage built i may have to haul it up top. but thats over 100 lbs.39.5 tsl's
shonhttp://shons99ranger.homestead.com/files/tireson.jpg where would you put it??

i only run 38s but no spare. i just carry the co2 tank and plenty of plugs and some wire just in case. the tube sounds like a good idea to.

I have a 38 x 11 Bogger. On my 10 inch beadlocks aired to 30 psi it is the same height (give or take a 1/4 inch) as my 39.5 TLS's on the same 10 inch wheel.

38x14.5x15 i carry a 38x12.50x15 spare

I run 39.5" boggers and I definetly carry a spare but only when I leave town. If I'm just wheeln down the road then I usually don't take it with me. To much of a bitch to get it in and out of the bed! I do a lot of wheeln around the state though and out of the state so I figured I would carry a spare just in case! Never have used it though! Hope I don't need to!

You guys should be more like me and run 31" tires. That way you dont break so much crap, and have room for about 5 spare tires, if that's what you're into:D

Otherwise, I think you should just tub out your whole bed, and mount the spare under there:massey:

You crush jeeps and fords with your little 31's http://www.goldenplasma.f2s.com/forum/smilies/happy09.gif

So what's the wire for? to sew up a gash? DO you plug it then sew it? You must have a big ass needle. Someone explain please

"You crush jeeps and fords with your little 31's "

Actually, I usually save their asses after they brake an axle:flipoff2:

Don't get mad just 'cause I can wheel 31's better than you can run 40's:crybaby2: (God I love starting controversy:nuke: )

Yea , you sew the gash then insert the tube in your tire , then get out of there!:eek:

go with extra plugs and leave a spare at the trailer or you can hump it the whole trip :flipoff: :jeep:

im spareless at the time but im looking for a 38x11 bogger or 38x12.5 swamper for a spare... anybody have one for me :D

Adam,

LOL :D me too.. im mounting mine up high on the back of the roll-cage like that Bruiser guys jeep. (the blue and yellow CJ with 42's)

Having a full size spare tire adds to much weight and takes up too much room for me.

I carry a lot of patches, a tube, tire irons, and beadbreaker foot for the hi-lift. Hummer wheels are also the bomb for trial flats!

If I go out of town I might through a spare on the trailer.

later :jeep:

I once watched a friend repair a hole big enough to stick a finger through in the sidewall of a brand new 42 TSL. He cut up a spare fan belt, and jammed it in there with a bunch of plugs. It leaked some, then somebody else suggested lighting the plugs on fire. Let them burn for a minute, then blew them out and voila, no more leak. When we got back to camp it still had more air than the rest of the tires. He found somebody to put a boot in the tire as a more permanant fix.

when i had 33 tsl's I ran one on the roof rack of my old 4 runner went 36" tsl sx damn truck almost flipped over every corner.
On the new rig the spares going as low as possible. I've only used it once and thats when my tire wouldn't rebead in the mud and it was pissing rain.Its one of those things that If you have it you'll never need it

I have 39.5 Boggs. I plan on keeping a spare at the trailer same size and beadlocked. I know it doesn't do much good if your deep into a trail, but usually things can be worked out. I wouldn't even have a spare except that if I trailer my rig that far and say bust a tire on the 1st day of a multi day run, I would be pissed. Definetly do not put em on the top. If anything, I will make a Baja style bed mount, but thats only if I must.

I run a 42 tsl here is a pic.

Practic installing a tube before you decide to go that route.

Royal PITA to figure out in the field. And to dismount a tire that size . . .

That is why I said spend the money for that spare on a set of beadlocks :p ;) :D

How many of you are running beadlocks on the street? How many tickets? How'd you get them signed off?

I got a ticket for a license plate light being out. Can't imagine what would happen if I had beadlocks.

Why don't you guys carry the spare on the back like that Scout? If you mount it high enough, it won't hurt departure angle right?

I carry a 37 X 12.50 under my flat bed, and there is room for a 38 TSL if it's deflated. I hate loosing all of the bed space to a spare. and mounting it under the bed keeps it as low as possible.

Here is a shot from underneath that shows the spare....

Chris
That pic of your mini yota is insane! Was the side or top planted on a rock, or does that spare keep your center of gravity that low:question:

On an off topic note: Thanks for doin what you do man. It's guys like you and Jay K. that really got me into wheelin Toyotas, and I feel like all the Toyota guys are a close knit family :rasta: :rasta:

Brandon

no room on the new buggy for the planned 42"

i do carry boots, plugs, and a tube. also running bead locks. if that fails i will borrow a 38 from somebody. i will have a 42 spare at the trailer...just in case

for those orginized runs that require a spare i will just rachet strap it to the roof for tech. then remove it.

ah hell I was just thinking of the subject today. I am going up to a wopping 36 swamper radial and now run 35 BFG muds. If i get a flat in 4wd and need to change it out, will it give my transfer hell? I know that you cant do F&R different sizes but what about 1 tire? Also where do you get a 38inch innertube?

I still don't see why you wouldn't just build a swing arm onto the back of your rig and have one there... Somebody enlighten me!

should be fine, just air up the spare bfg a little bit more to match sizes, but it really shouldnt be that biggofadeal. if youre getting the 36 12.50 radial swampers, they are short anyway.....hth--brad

How did all these people fit the full widths into there EB's??? my freind has a 75 bronco and 78 bronco axles sitting next to it

What's the big deal on inserting a tube onto/into a 42' beadlocked? I have to be honnest I've never done it, but with the lock removed it doesn't seem that hard. What am I missing?

It's not a big deal with beadlocks(just time consuming)...it's when you don't have beadlocks, and only have a couple pretty wussy screwdrivers to use as tire irons that it turns into a bitch.

Huh?

Well I dont carry a spare for the simple fact that they are so damn expensive.. Trail R&R Im pretty capable of..:D

Server glitch or user error. The exact same reply is in the "fullwidths on a EB" thread. :D

Well, if you mount it up high, you can't see a thing backing up (this is 36+ sizes) since they take up pretty much the whold rear end. And a 38"+ tire with a wheel weighs 100+ pounds. That is a lot of weight to mount up that high, and really affects the center of gravity.

But if you mount it down low enough to see over, it kills your departure angle and you drag it through every obstacle on the trail.

space and weight issues.
