    Too much to name for this little space
    Hey all,

    I've made the decision to start saving for a RTT, which means I'll need a bed rack. I'm looking for a low profile rack to keep COG down and will likely get the Relentless Fab one. Low but can still fit/retrieve gear comfortably in the bed.

    I also plan to jump to 35s once my 33s go bald but refuse to get a spare tire swingout bumper. 120lb, $500 tire on the back bouncing around on trails and hitting against the departure angle on in/declines can just be avoided by putting the tire in the bed. Not to mention these setups add $1000 to any rear bumper.
    I would like to sit the tire up to clear space for equipment, instead of laying it flat in the bed effectively taking up half of the bed (6' bed).

    Has anyone done this? Any pictures of squeezing the tire in between the cab/back window and the RTT? Does anyone have any other recommendations, besides swingout bumper or roof rack, on how to fit a 35" spare with a RTT while also keeping a low-ish profile bed rack? TYIA
