    So I think I've see guys stuff a 35" tire in the spare tire area under the truck but I run 37s and have a full size matching spare mounted in the bed, so I'm debating what to do with the factor spare under the truck.

    I like be prepared for anything so I think I have 2 options, get another wheel with a 35" tire on it and have two spares, obviously the 35 would be last resort given I would be rolling on three 37s and one 35. Or, does anyone know of a "dummy spare" that is really a storage compartment that you can put in place of the factor spare? Seems like it would be a good spot to store all sorts of recovery gear and possibly some extra ammo and a 9mm or two, with a lock on it of course.

    You could potentially damage your diff if you were to use the 35” spare so I’d just take it out completely.

    That's cool! I figured someone had to make something that took advantage of that space if you don't need a spare down there. Now I just have to figure out if water or ammo is more important. SHIT, that's an impossible choice to have to make.

    If someone makes water storage takes there's got to be someone making something like a pelican case for that spot too, I would think.

    I saw there was two but assumed everyone uses at least one for whiskey. Right?

    It says you can stack up to 3. I don't know how that'll solve your ammo problem, but at least you'll have beer too!

    It keeps getting better! It says they can hold 6 gallons of water. Anyone have the conversion of 9mm rounds per gallon?
