Eh, picky, picky... you 'n' yer intact paint job.... :) (just kidding...
prod... prod.... :) )

You can't really fit a 35 underneath in the stock crank widget,
and even if you could, by the time you lifted it tall enough to fit
35's, the stock crank widget won't get the tire to the ground (I
tried) anyway.

Can you put one on a tailgate carrier (kinda like the Nissan
Pathfinder carriers, didn't Toyota have some of those for a
few years too?) and one inside?  Two 35's side by side on
a tailgate carrier would be too wide... what about two side
by side but one flat and divoted around the other?  Odd, but
it'd be unique... not real useful unless you've got onboard air
though, and I wouldn't advise storing tires for a long period
in a flattened state, they tend to crack and peel apart.
