    Still waiting on my CBI front bumper and would like to have a full size spare. I don't see any rear bumpers that have tire carriers yet for the 3rd gen. Am I missing them?

    CBI has said repeatedly that they are going to release modular swing arms for their rear bumper, but it's been months since they released the rear bumper without any news on that front. I'm not sure what's going on with that. I'm assuming they've run into some design issues. The area of the bumper where they've pointed to as a mounting spot for the swing arms would (likely) interfere with the BSM sensors. I've been waiting to see what it looks like before I pull the trigger on a rear bumper.

    The only thing I've seen to date on 3rd Gens has been the hitch receiver swing arms.

    To each their own. If only I could have the luxury of never driving on paved roads ever again like you. :rofl: Unfortunately, I usually have at least an hour or more drive on highways to get to my fun off road adventures.

    I like BSM...especially with the massive influx of crazy California drivers. There's been a few times it's saved my bacon.

    I'll chime in here on the need for a full-size spare. I took a major trip this summer and did not have the time to really check everything out and prepare as I should have. I was in the boonies of northern BC in late summer and inadvertently backed over a small stump (sticking up about 2-inches). Of course it sliced the sidewall on the OEM Bridgestone Dueler tires. Thought not a big deal, I'll just put the spare on. Turns out the spare on my Tundra was a Temporary tire - not something I'd want to use to drive 800-miles home to Washington State. Had to limp into Prince George and was fortunate that Fountain Tire had a set of proper 10-ply tires for my truck (no one in town had a Dueler that could have gotten me home - huge kudos to several tire shops that tried to find one for me).
    Morale is to replace the nearly worthless spare provided as OEM spare with something that matches your other tires before any trip! It had never dawned on me that a spare on a pickup truck would be a temporary tire (and yes - bad on me for not checking).
