Hi Volks,

I have been following the following threads and have come up with an elegant
solution.

By combining the above thoughts I have come up with the following solution:

IMHO $3000 USD is cheap when you are involved with a ground loop.  All that
is necessary is to deploy the Vanagon Rear Spare Tire Carrier just before
you do your ground loop and make sure your ground loop is to the right.  The
Vanagon Rear Spare Tire Carrier will act as an extra ground and help you
safely complete your ground loop without a complete roll over.

Two Vanagon Rear Spare Tire Carriers (invert one when mounting) deployed
left and right would ensure NO ground loop, right OR left, and also help
offset "nose dive", when stopping, due to the additional rear weight bias.

When you consider the cost of straightening body panels, repairing seam
rust, matching paint, replacing brakes, installing stiffer springs, honing
your slave cylinder, and replacing your clock and those cheesy stock
speakers...  the Vanagon Rear Spare Tire Carrier ground loop preventer is
way cheap!
