Hi,
After moving to 245/75/16 I had no space for the spare wheel in the XJ.
I thought about building something that will be supported by the rear bumper, but since I'm using the rear door on daily basis, I decided to go with the roof solution.
The pictures here are from the "first version", since then I added a fuel tank and toolbox and soon there will be a water tank there too.
