[QUOTE="badm0t0rfinger, post: 895271, member: 16630"] I'm fairly adamant about keeping the rear view camera in place. So I did some measuring using an unmounted spare tire (diameter might change a bit once mounted on the wheel) and it looks like you'd have a couple options: Push the tire upwards a few inches from bumper to clear the camera. It will stick about 12 to 15 inches above the level of the bed, a non-issue if you have a bed shell/cap or a raised mount for your roof top tent. The best option for a single spare in my opinion. The other option is pushing the spare outwards which will allow for a dual spare tire carrier (the unobtanium for some overlanders). While it is not wider than the vehicle it will block the rear lights, depending on how high they are mounted. This might not be an issue for a purpose built overlander, but for a vehicle that will admittedly live most of its life on the main roads, it will be. I [I]think [/I]that perhaps AUX lights to be mounted to the tow connections and be mounted on the tires to act as indicators. Alas, this is where I wish my fabricating skills were much improved.
