Very kool and different. How does that spare tire mount work for you?
I like how you have flood lights aimed at the sides. I am feeling inspired.

Nice addition of the wire mesh so the little one, or anyone else for that matter, doesn't slip thru the slider. Very nice!

spare tire...

Yo jamis... spare is just strapped up for the trail... I was going to put up more permanently, but I dig not want excess sun damage possibly... I think it'd be less likely to crack as much if I keep it under... and I'm pretty good @ rotating these reg. & don't think the dude @ NTB would like grabbin' it off every few months...

I saw that you were putting it up in some later photos. It didn't look like you had hiked it up there in your first couple of trail shots.
I had thought about putting a rack on a while back, skipping the carrier on the rear bumper, and then moving the spare to the rack for the trail. The loss of clearance from the rack would of caused me to have to forfeit garage privelages.

flowmaster
nice mellow sporty sound... closest thing I can think is a really muffled Infiniti G35... and there is no whistle... since this is what happens when you remove the resonator from a stock exhaust for a custom rear bumper... not loud @ all...but a lil' throaty & mellow @ kow speeds... great sound @ start-up...unique...can't even tell @ highway speeds...
