Today I put my new 3D printed front split on. Side spoiler is ready to painted, also someone I have 3D printed myself. What do you think?

Well today was eventful, worked the morning, did a Pallet of Mulch in the afternoon and then proceeded to get a flat on the truck while returning the trailer to the hangar…. :(
A glass shard managed to somehow slice the sidewall, I knew these Duelers had soft sidewalks but wow. The glass was tiny too.
I’d like to get a full size spare for this truck, the spare would probably not be fun to use while towing something heavy… 91A0E2F8-6CD5-4A54-8DBC-FAE1653F7BC7.jpeg 3F5CAD4C-BA61-40FF-9C06-73262C33548C.jpeg

@Nsleone - You could keep the (new, fullsize) spare in your shed/garage/hanger then throw it in the truck bed when towing, assume you have roadside assistance (through insurance or whatever) you'd be set to go on the road.

That's what I do for the spare for my boat trailer (had a flat in the middle nowhere middle Florida, spent a whole day finding a new tire correct size, including waiting for tire guy to come back for lunch blah blah blah), afterwards I got a used/good spare wheel/tire from a boat mechanic I know, keep it on floor of shed with boat until I tow it.

I started snooping around here and apparently you can fit a pretty good sized tire under there with little modding so I’ll probably go that route. I like the idea of throwing a full size spare in the bed for long tows but my bed is already 1/3 occupied by the transfer tank so I’m a bit limited on space, I’d rather have it underneath. :)

You can fit a 35 for sure and I think possibly a 37 if you had it aired way down and possibly a ratchet strap making it slightly oval lol

Oh sweet, I should be able to get a stock wheel & tire combo under there then, thanks!

@Nsleone - I was thinking it would be a real hassle to try to get at the spare underneath if you have trailer hooked up.

Dave
They actually put the cranking mechanism for the spare at a nice angle so you can get at it even with a trailer hooked up, but yeah if I was going long distance I’d probably throw another spare in the trailer once I get a new set of rims for the truck!
