what does everyone do for the spare tire when running bigger tires?

I have a slightly smaller tire 32.1" (255/75R17) as a spare in the stock spare location even though I'm running 32.6" inch tires (285/70R17). Here's my thread...Spare Tire Issue under GX470

So, the options are:
1. Carry a slightly smaller spare in stock spare location
2. Carry the 32.6" full spare deflated in stock spare location
3. Carry the bigger spare tire inside the GX470, on the roof, on the rear bumper on a tire carrier

I'm running 275/70-17 all around and as a spare. It barely fits.

The spare tire. I weighed it on my digital bathroom scales at 84 lbs, IIRC. I'll ask my wife because she was asking WTH I was doing rolling a tire through the house.

There's potential for contact against the tow bar edges. I'll drop the spare and check it out after I make a few trips and check it.

Literally a hair's width here. Another location to inspect later. Just so happened the tire sticker landed out right there when I winched it up.

Tow bar mounts to frame clear on each a side.

I left the air pump on because I got lazy towards the end. I'll make a date next month to remove all that. For the record it clears, too.

For the gratuitous rear end shot. The spare is tucked as high as everything else under there. My Tacoma's spare is up out of sight inches from the bed. This one does hang down a little lower towards the front and I'll drop it to see why soon. But should you high center on something it'll likely snag there, too. Seems that a rear mount or inside the cabin would be the best location for any hard wheeling.

Just bought our GX for use as a family hauler. Factory wheels were really bad!

Found these perfect 4Runner wheels on Craigslist for cheap. Didn't see any other stock pictures with these.

My brother got the white 08’ about a month ago. I likes it so much, i started to look at used ones and decided to Get my wife out of her 2014 Audi Q7 and Into this black 06’ to “not have a car payment” since she was not going to be working
