Spare wheel - where to put it?
Posted: 30 Sep 2013, 16:19
I would like to put on the front bumper, as seen in a couple of photos on Syncronauts - I mean, it is the obvious place, is it not?
More room inside, nothing heavy on the roof, and nothing blocking access to opening tailgate plus checking water and oil at the back.
BUT - will it not interfere with engine cooling? Maybe a positive during the winter but what about hot summers or trips to places like Turkey and Morocco?
If no cooling problems, then how to do it? Are there ready made kits available?
I am not a fan of bullbars and suchlike and always prefer the simplest solution to a given problem -
(probably the only useful thing I learnt from 20 years as a software writer...).
