I came up with a good straight, yet cosmetically challenged wheel from my accident earlier this spring. So I now have a good full size spare. I cringe at the thought of trying to get out of the Idaho back country on that space saver spare. I also carry an air compressor and plug kit. Triple A wont come anywhere near where I could get stranded.

I am running Michelin X terrains. They seem to work pretty damn good. I may go with some BFG A/T next time around and go a bit taller.

Right now I am looking at putting Thule cross bars on the factory roof rack and setting up a roof top wire basket type of thing to carry the spare, a good handy-man jack, some tow rope and other misc. off road necessities and keep them out of the truck. I'll set it up so I can back it into the garage and hook it up to pulleys from the ceiling and just lift it off when not in use.
