I didn't need or like the spare tire. Haven't found a kit that I like for the trie delete, still lookin.

Relocated the factory camera and it works pretty good.

Didn't see to many others.

I drive 200 - 300 miles a month. Off road is if there is dirt on the off ramp.

Be sure to lock the hubs first. Does spare tire have the air pressure sensors built into it? Wondering about tire rotation.

Nice job! I bet you can easily fabricate/3D print a blank plate for that area to cover the vents & screw holes.

@Smoothmove just saw that JCToffroad makes a plate for the Bronco tailgate.

Having an "Expect to self rescue…" sticker paired with deleting the spare tire is pretty good. Safe to assume that you'll at least be carrying some sort of tire kit?

Uh, the tires I rock are as pictured. I should do about 4500 miles a year, which means I will rotate them next year. IMG_2060.jpeg

The annual distance has nothing to do with it - I've gotten flat tires within a few miles from home, caused by things like screws, or nails lying in the road. My wife's car never goes off-road, and we've swapped a spare tire onto that from time to time due to the same sort of garbage lying in the road causing a flat.

Personally, I think it's a bit silly that some newer cars don't even come with a donut spare - just a can of fix-a-flat. My father-in-law's Mustang was that way, even though there was room in the trunk for a spare. But hey, if you don't want to carry a spare or anything for a possible flat, you do you.

I don't know the more I look at the rear tire delete I like it. I can get a tailgate pad and hang my bikes on the tailgate if the tire wasn't there.

I bet it looks funny with those skinny tires and the flares. Instead of a spare delete, you need a flare delete kit. I wouldnt have thought that I would ever question someone's purchase of a Bronco, until now. Your not planning to utilize any of the offroad features and only drive it >5000 miles a year? For a vehicle whose central purpose is geared to 4x4 it seems like a waste of resources.

2021+ Bronco Spare Tire Delete Kit (srqfabrications.com) Check this out. Kinda cool, and you don't need the bottle opener, since you have the camera there. Curious about the view of new camera angle compared to stock location? I'm with you, I only drive it 5000 miles a year or so, and I carry a B&D mini air compressor on board. I've owned my Explorer for almost 20 years, and still have the spare under the vehicle (never used, probably rotting by now), never used. I've had nails a ton of times, but unless you pull them out prior to heading to tire shop for a plug, you should be fine. If you have a major blow out, well then.........watch out for those pot holes.
