I decided to put my mounts up on the back side of the sound bar in my '07. I used 3-M heavy duty 2 sided tape as a "gasket" and then ran the screws in. Works great, and accessible ANY time, by anyone in the vehicle, front or back. It's been there about 6-7 months now, no problems.

That may aggravate some people, but trust me, it's WAY better than going through the steps to remove and reinstall them every single time you want to pull the doors!

Used these on my 08 and liked them, although a little hard to see out of he passenger one if you have the doors on.

With the ESP on the JK, it can be problematic to try to rotate your spare with your other 4 tires unless you do it frequently. In other words, if you wait to rotate a brand new spare into the other 4 until you have 7-10k miles on the other 4, you can end up with ESP issues because your spare will be taller than the other tires (less treadwear).

So, most people do not rotate their spare.

It is so easy to find a common size like a 35x12.50R15 used, or that has 0 miles on it because it didn't get rotated in on a TJ/YJ/XJ or other rig at a cost of 1/2 or less of new, it makes good sense to go that route if you are doing a budget build.

I only eliminated it from my list because of the "budget build" theme.
