I like the PSC one, but it seems that accessing the rear cargo area would really suck.

For a full on trail rig, it would rock though.

Depends on if the top mounts are QDs or bolts.

I have seen a few on TJ's, the top mounts have like a pin that you pull. then you can let it down to the ground and open the rear tailgate. It's pretty easy to do. It does make putting the spare on and off alot easier, especially with a 36" tire or bigger. It is also very strong. I have seen a TJ resting on one almost completely verticle.

Even if they are QD's, you would have to remove both of them, hinge down a heavy a$$ed tire and carrier, and then stand on or straddle the spare to get into the cargo area.

There are Pros and Cons to everything. I personally feel that having to stand or straddle the spare isnt really a big deal for me. It would be a no go for me if I was unable to add a carrier to the tow hitch.
