This picture popped up on my FB feed and I thought of you. Apparently, there exists a very rare factory spare tire mount:

Yes, but it doesn't fit "Transsyberia spec" i.e. 265/65-18s tires because of the design, only stock. I was looking for one until I realized that. It's not clear to me what the use case for that option actually was. Not sure how big the crossover of "running stock size tires" and can't "limp home on the foldable spare" actually is. It has to be vanishingly small.

Ah, that makes sense, and the design is kinda dumb in that it limits the size of tire.

I'm suspecting the use case is for the looks rather than purpose. Or maybe so there's an answer to those customers who balk at the no-full-size-spare.

This is awesome!

I'm particularly thrilled by the middle manager mobiles being kitted out with knobby tires, giant lights and permanently mounted tow points.
