Make sure you take multiple cans of the Fix-a-flat. 35" tires have a lot of volume and one can won't do it.

Youā€™ll need dish wash soap in case you canā€™t see where the leak is easily (nails donā€™t always stay in the tire). The leaking air will make a bubble in the soap. Not sure how you keep the soap from drying out in the car, but maybe somebody figured that out.
A bottle with a lid would probably work.

FSB full size bronco you either had the spare hanging on the tailgate or mounted inside to the bed.

Would the spare fit inside? Strap it down.

I meant from the heat of storing it in your Bronco. Yes, a bottle with a lid as well. šŸ˜

Spare tire delete doesn't mean it has to be gone. Toss that sum bitch inside and strap it down. I've seen people hit their tailgate mounted spare while 4 wheeling and crumple tailgates. Either go aftermarket bumper mounted swing out tire carrier or delete it if you're going to get serious. I'm more into soft roading now so I'll be keeping the spare on the gate this time around. It's "deleted" on my JK but it's strapped to where the back seat would go.

I think itā€™s a good idea to carry a plug kit and air compressor even if you carry a spare. Depending on the situation, it may be easier to plug the tire and inflate than to swap two 80lb(?) tire/wheel assemblies.

I donā€™t carry a spare in my car when I use it around town.

Imagine thinking forgoing a spare is a good idea. Any real off-roader knows other methods as to why a spare is important and no I donā€™t mean tire/wheel replacement
Had to bury mine one time to use it as an anchor point for the winch, not a tree in sight.

I would rather have a spare and not need it. But spare delete guarantees proper fit for hitch racks without using an extension, which is more important to me. So yeah, it definitely has its place.
