Just had a new 285/70-17 Wildpeak AT3W on a new TRD Pro wheel installed to have a matching spare and 5 tire rotation. The cost of the tire, wheel, TPMS, mount and balance, tire certificate, ceramic coating my spare wheel and taxes cost me a whopping $580. I know they make a spare tire steel/skid protector, but, I was wondering about just running a spare tire cover underneath. Cut a weep hole or two for moisture and dust and use a padlock to the chain link.
What are your ideas or experiences for this? TIA

I little off topic but have to ask.
Did your previous spare have a TPM?
Does your OBD pick up the signal from the spare TPM ?
Mine does not I'm replacing all 4 this week and was contemplating adding one to the spare but was told My OBD won't see it.
How about yours?

Honestly haven't had any issues with my spare getting dinged from rocks. Can get scratch from all the dirt that gets stuck up in the spare well though!

No. The factory Bridgestone spare tire and wheel did not come with a TPMS. Since my 2018 doesn’t have individual tire psi I’m not sure. The only thing I noticed was the low tire light come on after I lowered down all the tires prior to going 128 miles off-road. I did put a new TPMS in the new spare as this will be one of my 5 tire rotation. I don’t think it detects the spare, but, really not quite sure.

If I had a used 285 on a steel wheel I probably wouldn’t care. This was a inexpensive trial before my trip. I wished you could have joined us. Great time and group. Maybe next time. Three of the four 4Runners were white. You could have been the fourth. I was the black sheep.

Wish I could have! But one of our small furry familly members got sick so we have been taking care of him the last several weeks 
Regarding the spare, I also am doing a 5 tire rotation but using the stock trail wheels so scratches don't like too bad haha

I probably would have dropped a deuce.

Zahman made one of these for me years ago. It has been thoroughly tested over and over. My spare has never been damage or gotten hung up. The bolts have bent, but I can still get them off/on easily when I need my spare. I don't think he is still making them - too bad.
Perfect fit and beveled edges. Looks good to.

I have mine for sale. Excellent condition. $130 local pickup in Burbank/Glendale, CA area. At the time, about 3 years ago, it cost me $195 plus $65 to ship. Going to a rear tire carrier.

Lol. I have been looking a lot lately at different rear bumpers. Aesthetics, weight, cost, etc. I don’t want to remove the rear cross member. The only option I want for the rear bumper is the spare tire carrier. In the meantime, I purchased the BSM that you have and waiting to install them after I get a couple big dents removed.

I was thinking about the Victory 4x4 Blitz for $1559 minus spare tire carrier. Maybe the Nyguen w/o the crossmember removal. CBI? I think it’s heavy. Maybe a DIY weld together one?
Any ideas appreciated.

I’d personally stick to double shear spindle designs and make sure the bumper has side brackets for side impact and bottom impact protection at the wings as bare minimum.
Modularity is what I would also be looking for, and how the latch works.
Sandy cats on YouTube or
@ OffKamber
on these forums made a video on what to look for. I agree with him 100 percent
