Default Re: Spare tire rack

I did have steel wheels. Good point. I felt like a fool wrastling that bittch off there the one time I had a flat. Point well taken. Do you just climb up there and throw it off or what (look out below)? I wonder what the weight diference is steel vs. aluminum? 15-20 lbs per wheel? True that you dont often get a flat as well. Make sure to get a cover for it or keep it dressed in order to avoid sun damage, premature cracking, if in a sunny area like me (So Cal).
