Full size spare in back with seats?

[crager34]

You know how Jeeps have theirs on the back of the tailgate? How about removing our spare tire cover and creating some sort of bracket that would hold it inside?

of a full size tire mounted where the mini spare was. I beleive the owner had to cut the cladding to make it fit.

With the seat folded all the way forward you can simply lay it flat on the floor and ratchet strap it down using the hooks on the floor. With the seat just folded down you can do the same except the tire will sit on the floor and rear section of the seat. I use these methods whenever I go wheeling. If you need to use the seat you can put the tire vertical behind the seats (as long as you are not runing some ungoddly wide tires) and again strap it down so that it doesn't move. Of course you will have very little room for anything else back there.

Works great...
















...as long as the hole is small enough!

Most flats can be easily fixed with a good puncher kit. Just be sure you have some water with you it makes it a lot simpler.

Thanks for all the ideas. I think I am going to go with the seats up, tire sitting vertically and just strap it down. Someday hopefully get a roof rack.
