I'm not so sure that there's really that big of a difference between blowing a front tire and blowing a rear tire.
I've done a bunch of driving these things in all kinds of conditions. Here's my experiences with blowouts -
1) Passenger side steer tire 14.00. I had another truck on towbars...
Here's some pics next to an M1102 chassis.
It obviously doesn't match, but there's a lot of variation on military issue tan items anyway, and we originally made it match rustoleum.
Give me a couple of days and I'll get a pic of it next to a CARC tan trailer.
If I remember correctly, we didn't use 686 as the match. We matched it to tan rustoleum rattlecan for ease of future touch ups. It hasn't been touched up.

You'll want it to play nice with your tailgate.
I like gimpy's idea of having it be removable.
I've got a couple of 12 year old Hawkers in my HMMWV. I thought I'd be replacing them this spring because they were acting weak last fall and they were flat dead when I went to start the HMMWV a couple weeks ago, despite the solargizer.
A ran them through a resurrection cycle on my battery...
I alter them to terminate into an Anderson connector instead of being hardwired, and then add a slave plug and cable terminated in an Anderson connector and add an Anderson connector to the alligator clips. This gives the ability to either charge batteries individually , or charge them all...
