I also want to retain my spare tire location, not ready to sacrifice that. 16 gals transfer with a switch ( and a mod of exhaust pipe) is a good compromise for me.
Is it a good idea, or bad, to run a survey of forum members..and present to LRA?

16 gallon the way to go keeping spare in location.

I asked for the 16 gallon pony, i want to keep my spare tire underneath

yep - hopefully we see it next year - though a 20 week lead time seems excessive

I'm probably in the minority on this but I'm going for the 24 gal version if I decide to get it. My tire will not fit in the spare location and frankly I think I will just opt for no spare at this time.

I'm going with Glue Tread to repair any sidewall damage and use Safety Seal to seal any punctures. In the past, it was far easier to repair than to change out the tire in the field.

I agree on the tire changing - it’s almost pure hell unless you are on a nice flat surface.

hey nonamex, I've used the Safety Seal before and it works good and got me home before. But I've not used the Glue Tread, and curious if it works as good as advertised. thanks

Glue Tread works amazingly well. Sliced a tire on purpose this past Sunday. Took 45 minutes to patch and dry the glue. Aired the tire back up and still holding today.

Of course, it cannot patch big gashes or dents in the wheels. For these instances a spare is needed.
