2001 Cherokee - Full Size Spare?

I have a '01 Cherokee with that pathetic donut-size spare in the back. I was going to buy full-size spare, but it just doesn't look like it will fit. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks

I hate the donuts too, and always make sure to have a full size spare.

For your xj, it might be a tight fit, depending on the size of tire. If it doesn't fit, you can fix it (http://www.innerauto.com/browse/year/1998/2001/jeep/cherokee/spare_tire_carrier/?ref=S1161368748W453914ac6fba6&label=98+99+00+01+Jeep+Cherokee+Spare+Tire+Carrier ).

Just my opinion...leave it in there.

If you are going wheeling you will want to mount the full size outside.

The larger tires will not fit inside (unless you want to lay the back seat down.

Also, in some warmer climates...people don't like smelling the rubber from the spare tire when it is hot.

Just some thoughts here for you.

Best regards...
