I happened to be watching some R51 videos on youtube two nights ago and it reminded me of the link you posted, however, it has the opposite outcome though. :lol:

The Pathfinder driver in that vehicle was terrible taking the worst lines stopping for no reason when going uphill and loss of momentum.
As for the complaint about the spare tire location that applies to all vehicles that dont have their spare on the back.
The R51 is actually a military vehicle in the Bundeswehr and they dont buy junk.

LOL I just found it funny is all. I agree about the driver in the video I linked, seemed inexperienced?

Spare under the carriage has been a common complaint amongst all trucks that do any bit of off road driving. But then I kind of like the undercarriage option as it'll be easier on my back. My 33" tires are F'in heavy!!! Can't wait til I move up to 35" tires. I'm thinking about picking up the rear bumper from Coastal Offroad though since I don't want to be damaging my spare, unfortunately, it's a DIY weld kit only though so I'd have to find a local body shop or machinist to take on this task, but it's the best one so far that I found that I like. The link below gives you small glimpses of the Coastal Offroad rear bumper.
