CT you know you are a rock crawler dude! You wanna go back to the room after a long day not set one up. I know this after 9 days in AK with you. lol
But our days aren't long...they are a masterfully orchestrated blend of awesome pants, coffee, offroading, Land Cruisers and great terrain/scenery/history. Capped off with bourbon and outstanding restaurant quality food.
Overlanding is a lot like technical rock crawling in that in order to be enjoyable the group size has to be small. Mostly that's due to National rules, campsite size and overall agility. 6-8 max.
It's not about being exclusive it is about having a crew that fills up
That is the main advantage of park wheeling. You can split into small groups and hang as a big group at night.
Back when we drove all over the US rockcrawling it was the same deal. Had to keep the groups small. Rarely did we have room to invite others.

Alright guys, I'm looking at options for spare tires for my trailer and really am trying to prevent the real estate and weight of the spare. So...I thought about an adapter so I could use my spare on my lx470 on the trailer in case of emergency (5 lug truck- 6 lug trailer). I know the safety concerns with adapters/spacers but this would be to limp into town. Tire height are = on truck and trailer.
Terrible idea? If not, what the heck am I actually looking for with an adapter to get what I need?

Or you can put a fancy rear bumper with tire carrier on your truck, mount the truck spare on the bumper and put the trailer spare under the truck.
I had some of those made at wheeladapter.com for one once. Ugly but it would work to keep it for spare.
Well, well, well....
Guess what showed up on my front porch today
It is a game changer. It brings new meaning to 'EAF'.

You must have bought the RV???
Not yet. Inspection next week. Agreed on a price and hope to negotiate down more after the inspection. We drove to see it last weekend after the State game. It's in Ramsey, IL. That's right, F'n Illinois!
You drove to Illinois to look at an RV and left without it knowing you would have to drive BACK to Illinois to get it?
Holy s***. If I only had 10% of your patience I'd have so much money.....
