Change spare wheel stowage on my Wrangler

[Silvertwinkie]

Hi,
my first post.
I haven't bought my Wrangler yet, but scanning the classifieds on an autosales sight, I saw the pic below. I would very much like to store my spare as my new Wrangler will be pulling my vintage Airstream. Without the wheel in the way I can hook up easier and also open the rear window without the wheel and high brake light getting in the way.
My question is: can I buy a conversion kit?
Thanks,
Marc

There are a bazillion ways to move the spare into the rear compartment. Or you can replace your mirror with a screen. That would make hooking up even easier. You could even add a second camera (for about $20) to the rear of your airstream and have a rearview from that as well.

You must have Coin, if they let you Pilot a JK in the UK. All Good

My thought:
Stow your spare as factory designed when you're not towing the Airstream. When towing the silver sleeper, simply stow your spare in or on the trailer.

I use Jeeps because I like to run a class 3 hitch and weight distribution on my Airstream.

That does not change how your spare tire is mounted. It eliminates the spare tire. Not the same thing at all.

As DD said, that is simply a spare tire delete, not an alternative spare tire mounting location.

I bought a spare tire delete plate on Amazon. I also bought stainless head studs for a early 2000s Ford modular V-8 - 5.4 and 4.6 - M8 and 1.25 might be 1.5.

Studs let me hang the plate with RTV to delete the broken air vent.

Studs would let you easily pull the spare and the carrier if you so choose.

Be careful because removing the spare carrier removes your third brake light.

I'm all for an aftermarket stereo...they make ones with 10" screens that replace part of the dash...with a camera hung right over the hitch.
