Walnut Creek Tx.- Last run of the year...

Great picks, to bad about the Toyota (hehe). Trails in Texas seem awful short, but really, really wide.
Question, the one jeep with the tire in the back. I run a similar setup, to get some weight off the back. How is the tire mounted?

That's what I am wondering. I have mine secured to the floor, but I was wondering the way that the tire is sitting, did he have a rack of some sort. Usually when you see a tire upright like that it's bolted to the roll bar.

The white TJ 556NNG. I thought the tire was mounted someway, but it sounds like it was just stuffed in there. Hey Stu., I mount my spare the same way. It was if Jeep put the rear seat mounting points exactly where a 35" tire would go. Those brackets work great. But right now I am modifying a few stock scissor jacks (cannibilizing them for parts) to make a trick screw down tire mount. The straps (I use chains and a binder) work but I figure I can make a real trick screw down tire mount that will work a little better.

Joke told to me years ago from a Navy pilot about Marines (don't hold me personally responsible....I like Marines)
A Marine pilot was coming in for a landing. As he touched down he was forced to use full reverse thrust, full flaps, his air brakes, and smoke his tires to come to a stop. In just 100 feet, stopping just inches from the dirt. He says to his copilot "This has got to be the shortest runway that I have ever landed on!" His copilot looking out both sides of the aircraft at thousands of feet of tarmac replies, "And the widest!"
Now you see what I mean about your trail. I know that those were just flex opertunities.
