Nice tires.
Have you tried to fit the 5th tire on the spare tire mount?
You will probably have to relocate the mount a bit higher / outer using some
kind of spacers, and raise the 3rd brake light switch.
Tell us how it fits, I'm interested to buy the same tires later this year.

Those tires should fit fine on the stock carrier.

Bill, are you certain about this? In the past TJ's ABS was not available
with the Dana 44, and if you had the 30" tire/wheel group with ABS, you got
the 35, otherwise it was the 44. At least in 2000 this was true, as the
proof is parked in my garage, and AFAIK every year subsequent has been the
same until '07.
Besides, I don't think the X has the 44 available anyway, but I might be
incorrect.
