PlumCrazy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 under the bed, or will only the mini-spare fit in that space? I picked up some turbine wheels and found a fifth (the price is good). If it will fit under the bed, I'll go and pick it up too. Wayne S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 JUST Curious, Are these the ones you have? You can get a 30X9.5X15's in there I'm not sure how much bigger a tar would fit? I had a 30X9.5 under mine for some time. BTW, these rims are commonly refered to as 10 spokes. :D CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlumCrazy Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yep, that's them with center caps...ten spokers...ok so it will fit I'll go down tomorrow and buy the other one. Not a bad price either, too bad they don't fit the big Jeep otherwise I'd buy all that the yard had so I can mount snow tires to the steelies.

Eagle Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I carried a 31-10.50R15 in the stock, under-bed location. I think that's the limit for size, and I was a little worried about that much weight on the winch cable but it didn't seem to be a problem. 235/75R15s will be no problem at all.

500 MJ Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 When I was pulling parts off of mine while taking it apart I went to winch the spare down and the cable broke clean off at the plate that holds the tire up. That was the end of it, my questions were answered when I threw the whole winch assy in the scrap pile at the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Wayne - how many does the yard have? i have been looking for those forever. how much was it for each wheel? if its worth it i might have to make a new stop next time i head out to AZ.

mjeff87 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Back before I mounted up Pat's old bumper, I had a 235/75 hanging there, with plenty of room for a larger (30-31") to fit if I wanted. Since then, I cut a bit with the sawzall :evil: .....now I don't think a tire off my garden tractor would fit there :D But it looks to me like the perfect spot for an air tank for my OBA project (we'll see this weekend) BTW, I have the old tire winch off mine if anyone needs it. Works fine. My spare now rides in the bed :chillin: Jeff Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've got those wheels with a 31x10.5 under the bed. It will fit with no problems, I think I could probably shooehorn a 32 or even 33 under there since i'm a LWB, but like eagle would be concerned with the winch cable giving way. I second Alex there. I need a new center cap, and wouldn't mind having another one for my spare. If you can spare a center cap name your price with shipping to 44805 and I'll get it to you.

PlumCrazy Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I picked up four with center caps for $20 bucks each...If you really want them, let me know and I will go down and clean them out...I think there was 5 (or more) left.

GirsMJ86 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 if you don't mind holding onto them for awhile i would take them for sure. i don't know when the next time is that we would be heading out to AZ. we usually go out every spring or summer in the rv. i would have to ask when we are planning on our next trip. if its not anytime soon though i am sure you could sell them pretty easy since most i talk to would like turbines. too bad shipping would be killer i bet.

87manche Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 If you ship some to alex, or he's coming to get one I would like one. If anything, he won't need a center cap for his spare, so if you could grab me a center cap I'd really appreciate it. I'll pay for shipping and whatecer the cap costs. If they won't sell the cap seperate, just get the wheel, send me the cap and take it back to the yard :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlumCrazy Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 They had four when I got there...someone picked up two. I'd like to keep one as the spare and I only found two more center caps. Alex, I'll give you first shot at them...same price I got 'em $20 each, do you want three of them? I called the semi-local Jeep yard and they have 8 or 9 (according to the gent on the phone) but they want $40 bucks a shot. Let me know what you want to do. 87manche your in second or I can run up to Branson and pick up what they have if that price is good for you.

87manche Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 jeff PM'd me, and I think he may be on the hunt, he's closer to me, so shipping is good. So don't worry bout me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 are the three you have the chrome ones or the charcoal ones? and are the two center caps the chrome ones or the black ones? since you brought up the semi-jeep yard that reminded me that i never checked out the one not too far from me. might give them a call before i fork over money for shipping. or if anyone wants to trade for some eliminator rims...

PlumCrazy Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Look just like the picture up top, the only black on them is brake dust and the centers are chrome with black Jeep circle. The clear coat is peeling on the outer ridges in some spots, but the "spokes" are bright and shiny. Wayne S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisco Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 How do you remove your spare tire? I need to do this, and can't figure it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlumCrazy Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 I think there is a rod behind the seat that feeds through the rear bumper to turn a gear/cable which lowers the spare. Wayne S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87mjdriver Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I don't mean to highjack but it's sorta on the same track. I run 35's and I know a spare 35 won't fit so I have been thinking of what else I could use that space for. one idea was a co2 tank underther but i am not sure if that is exactly safe and I was told the tanks have to mounted upright. the other idea was some type of storage cabinet like those tuffy boxes for the back of wranglers. anyone got another idea? allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisco Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 well, no, there is no tube between the seats. But there is on in the read by the back bumper, and I think I turn it to lower the tire. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlumCrazy Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Sorry typing fast...the rod for the jack (and that lowers the tire down) was behind my seat. It is inserted below the bed (above the bumper) to lower the cable and the spare tire. Wayne S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 In this pic, you can just make out the "tube" running just below and parallel to the tail pipe. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 i think the thing with the air tanks is not that they HAVE to be upright, but that you need a drain plug at the lowest point of the tank so that whatever gets into it (oil from the oiler, moisture, other crap) will drip out... i know a good bit of juice comes out of my bro's airtank if it hasnt been drained in a while.
