The Unijack's base is 8" x 7" and fits fine, in the rear tray. I did not remove the tray.

This is truly a good idea, but I think the kickstand does not hold a lot of weight - compared to what a jack would.



If you dont mind taking a photo of your rear tray, that'd be awesome.

I'm still trying to figure out if it's worth removing the rear tray and donut and replace with a full-size spare. I feel like the width of a full-spare would be too tall and decrease the cargo space.

I dont think you going to be able to "cleanly" fit full size tire without major rework or compromises. I also think the tire is much taller than the current well/area depth so the entire floor would need to be raised and thats assuming the tire would actually fit diameter wise in the first place. How many times you will get flat where to donut one does not suffice in short run? I dont think it is worth all the headache ...

I looked at that , it's pretty cool and not as expensive as it appears it would be. I picked up a 8ton bottle jack at Harborfreight - I wish I know about hit before hand would have bought it instead.

In another post some has already tried this and a full size spare will fit, you just won't be an able to close the back compartment. As for the headache I agree - but if you go out in the boonies you're going to want the full size spare. I would happily pay extra for the option of having a full size spare over the donut one.

This is where I'm coming from. While I don't plan on 'extreme' offroading, accidents or sharp rocks happen and would like the piece of mind of a full-size spare when on the trail.

Hitch mount tire rack may be an option; perhaps also overhead/roof storage.

Seems overhead would be less intrusive in terms of mods. However, I would place inside once back on highway to save on fuel .

Hitch mount tire racks are too expensive and block the back up camera. There is what appears to be a space under the PP in the back - where a spare would go. not sure if any investigated doing this or if it is even feasible.
