about $1000 for a good one  :shock:

I have some plans I have made up as I plan to gas the jeep, hopefully get it done for about £200

Take a look on eBay.  The swing-out  tubular steel type that fit onto the existing bumper sometimes come up, and tend to be quite reasonable.  Also worth checking the classifieds on some of the other Jeep forums such as:-

That's one of the horrible space-saver spares, isn't it? I notice that yours is a significantly smaller diameter than the tyres you are running - which could make life interesting if you ever actually have to use it. :shock:

Mounting on the roof is an option, but you really need a secure platform (both in terms of being safely fixed, and not nickable), rather than just the roof bars when running a full-size spare IMO.  The increased drag will also affect fuel consumption too, which may be an issue.

I guess you could bonnet mount it too, come to that - but then visibility could be a  problem. :lol:
