Aren't Bugger tyres what you use to get hopelessly stuck in mud????

Not yours either is it Trev?

Took you an hour and a quarter to spot it, then you didn't spot that I'd spotted it first.

have the rear mounted.. I personally think it looks better, plus its easier to use if you need the spare, or if you want to run bugger tyres.

So that explains the way you walk

It's not your month is it ?

The first one I looked at had the underslung, the higher spec cars seem to have the rear mounted.. I personally think it looks better, plus its easier to use if you need the spare, or if you want to run bugger tyres..

Did anyone else laugh out loud at that?

Both the 3rd GENS ive had have the rear wheel carrier, My 2nd Gen had it underneath. I dont really mind the advantage is not lying in a puddle when you need to change it.

My 3rd Gen is an SSRX & it has the spare under slung.

Very easy to get too as it's on a very clever winch type system undone by the jack handle.

Makes life easier when opening the rear tailgate.

I suppose ground clearance would be affected by it though.

I would imagine there is a ground clearance advantage too! - as well as freeing up more space for veg oil/lpg tanks, and compresser tanks.

Another question that I am sure someone will be able to answere:

do most 3rd gen's come with the spare on a rear mounted carrier.

Have seen some with the spare slung under the rear (as my 2nd gen 4 runner) which I think I prefer for quicker access to the boot area and also where i park at work is a bit restricted so hinging the wheel out could be an issue.

why the difference?
