The bumper will give me general protection for when I'm off-roading locally and for the Publix parking lot
If I'm wheeling locally, I should be able to keep my 285/70/17's in the spare wheel well.
The tire carrier will be for when i'm headed out of town; when I'm headed out to more remote areas, I'll throw the spare on the tire carrier, and use 2x trailed 6-gallon fuel canisters that fit in the spare wheel well. (Trailed 6-Gallon fuel canisters:
Universal 6 Gallon "Spare" Tank (2-Pack) | Trail'd )
