If I read the thread on ExPo right, that is the same size as the rest of the wheels/tires, just with a steelie wheel and a BFG mud terrain instead?
Kind of a ****** execution of a spare, if its completely unlike the rest of your wheels.
@MajorAR.
Its not the exact build I'd do, but "complete abortion"? Nawww. Id want to retain the rear bumper profile (backup sensors/backup camera use) mount the spare a bit higher, maybe put two in there if at all possible. The type of build I want I really can't reasonably put the spares in the bed like most have them mounted.
However I do really like @dotcomrade's Overland rack. I'm gonna see if a local fab shop can do something up similar too it. I'd love to do it myself but my skill and time are just not there to do it myself.

I'm doing a full overland build including a basecamp trailer. I live in PNW, no Baja around here. LolGot a little inspiration of where I want to go with my [more overland oriented] Raptor build that I will be undertaking here in the next few months:

Yeah a rack system/concept like that is pictured above....would be destroyed in about 30 seconds the way most of us drive out here in the west/SoCal.
Would look cute on an FX4 however. Lol.

Steering wheel looks the same. How did you replace just the strip? I need to replace mine bad and Ford said I'd have to buy a new steering wheel. Any details would be appreciated.

It's literally just a strip of red leather with three stitches in it. Cut the stitches and it comes right off. I bought a piece of red marine vinyl from Joann fabrics and replicated the strip (3 7/8" long 1" wide with the sides folded in to make it 3/4") wrap it around the wheel and re-stitch. 30 minutes and you're done. Will add some more photos when I get to a computer.
