Threw all my supposedly $1200.00 E-Body space-saver wheels/tires, $600.00 jacks and frame tie-downs in the scrap metal pile too. What am I going to do with 50 pounds of ugly...............use it? laugh2

Can't say I feel sorry for you spending $450 bucks on a spare, did they throw in a jack and compressor? laugh


To each his own I guess...

It’s not unusual to be out on highways (and off the grid roads) and beyond cell service. Sometimes by a huge amount of miles (we are retired, and travel).

No, I didn’t pay $450 for a simple spare:
