Sorry you had that crap luck. I've never cared for an under-carriage spare or a factory donut. I have a home/vehicle maintenance schedule I really try to keep up with. One thing I do regularly is to check the air pressure in the spare tires. They're often left forgotten in the trunk of a car for years by most people, and usually have about 8 lbs. of pressure in them when they're needed.

Whats that a '99/.....?
My spare fits fine, used it a lot....but you really need to pay attention, as the lowering assembly rusts up and is a PITA in about 20 minutes.
Won't do ya much good if you can't get it off.....

That advantage of a 4 wheel drive as it allows you to get stuck in more inaccessible place than you every have been.

BTW my '99 has a full size spare.

Haven't watched the video as I'm on dial-up but I'm assuming you had a flat tire and had trouble with your spare. I always keep a full sized spare in trunk. Right now I have two back there that will fit on my car.

"Dude. Where'd you park the spare?"

I had run flats on mine. Have you ever driven on a run flat? That has a pretty high pucker factor. A good solid 8 on the Puckerometer. Got rid of those @#$#ed things and went with a spare. My truck also has an undercarriage but I rotate it along with the other 4.

lol the spare is on a new rim at moment in the back of mums car, have you ever tried to drive off road on a flat with limited slip diff's. i tried cause i couldn't get the spare off, needless to say a grinder got involved later then it should have :P
