A Blanking Cover, replacing the spare wheel on a Gen 4 2019 Jimny, any ideas? was created by Lambert

Almost certainly going to have to be custom made at this early stage of gen4 availability. Nice idea though.

Curious as to why?

Where will you keep the spare, inside the car?

Yeah, personally i think the spare tire on the back gives the Jimny its unique character.

In fact, ive seen the dealer model sat without the spare wheel, and just my opinion - It looks weird and not quite right.

One of the local fencing contractors used to have a motorised spool thing on the back door of his for winding up reclaimed barbed wire. Kinda cool and abjectly terrifying at the same time. It was like a motorised rope saw for the zombie apocalypse!

I see a weird trend out of India, particularly in the Mahindra Thar community where a lot of guys have smaller, very bling rims with massive tyres.

It seems guys just have a naked rim mounted back there presumably because the tyre won't fit and would also block vision.

A rim would bolt right up and be smaller thus presumably out of sight?
