My 35s a big enough pain in the *** for me to get on tire carrier so I can't put on top. Plus my jeep wont fit in my garage with one on it doesn't need to be any more top heavy. They look cool just not for me.

Yup that the reason I never did a roof mount I wanted to if raining or whatever you happen to slip your down and bye tire where ever it rolled to. Plus your goin to be pissed off even more because you'll still have to change the tire. Just like the 10ply tires dullys yea it sucks.

Any off you guys from or around the Farmington area going to be or wanting to go for a ride Saturday or Sunday. The glade is where I was planning on going dont know a lot about it. Rock gardens would be awesome but I need a tour guide. It's a built rig handle most anything( I think) let me know 505twotwo8 508four

I've been looking around the Rio Rancho / albuquerque area for some mud to go play in but nothing. I've been wanting to get the XJ dirty for a while now but I don't want to drive more than an hour to do so.

Find a fire hydrant near some dirt in the mesa etc open up mud problem solved. I don't know if you'll find one in the midde of nowhere but I offered some advise. Didn't say it would be legal either hahaha.

Shinigami

lol yea nothing illegal. Seems like it wants to rain but all of the clouds seem to be going towards Sandia.

It was pretty muddy up at Cedro last weekend.

If it's too heavy for you guys you could always find a girl scout troop looking to get a civic duty merit badge. I'm sure one of them would be up to the task. Bwahahahahahaha

Really though, my 33 is not difficult at all to get up there. I would never use a bumper mount tire carrier because of the damage to the unibody. The roof is the only viable solution.

T-Rexj

or put it in the back of the jeep, seems more viable than anything really

No room for all that nonsense haha. Having a backseat, and probably a sub, there wont be room back there especially when I step up in size. I dont think a bumper mount is going to hurt anything especially if you really tie the bumper into the frame. I mean people tow a hell of alot more than what a tire ways with there xjs with no issues

T-Rexj

if it works it works plain and simple for any of these ideas

XJmike0122

I like mine in the Jeep but I would like the option to put it on the roof if I needed space. I could not stand it blocking my back window.

superbee1970440

I really doubt that. I'm sure most without frame reinforcement are damaged somewhat. The "frame" Is just not made to take that kind of weight, especially when you think of a 33 or 35 mounted up over the bumper and all the leverage that tire and mount has, that coke can body is just going to bend.

Ask anyone who has wheeled an XJ long term with a big tire on the back. If I'm not mistaken, That's why Glen took his tire off of the mount on his white XJ.
