I bought the MT/R's with Kevlar hoping that I would never need a spare. So far so good.

Yes to all the above for reasons to want one. Also, on my old pickup with a spare underneath, I found a sharp rock with the sidewall on the spare once. I found that out the hard way when I got a flat on the way home and my spare was unprepared. Luckily, I was out to the paved road and AAA to the rescue!
Also hear hear to replacing the mopar plates with something stronger. I have hit the mopar plates - instant dent. I have hit my 4XGuard plates....just a scrape.
The best things in life can not be found on a map; they can only be found while Wandering.

I actually bent two rims and busted the bead on two tires at the same time going thru an open ford too fast. Two spares would have nbeen nice. Im not worried about having two spares, I just thought a carrier would be cool.

What kind of tires/wheels are you guys running where you are bending wheels and blowing beads? Also what psi were you running at the time?

stock wheels and tires at 35psi. 2 wheels , 2 tires and refinish bumper cover = $1400 insurance estimate
