Where does everybody carry their spare(s)?
« on: May 23, 2002, 02:26:00 pm »
With the way they install the dual exhaust on my truck (before I bought it) there's no way to fit a fullsize spare underneath.  I have a toolbox in the bed but it came of my S-10 and fit between the bedrails (It came out of a Nissan to begin with!) so in the fullsize bed there's at least a foot of space between the end of the box and the right-hand bedrail so I have a fullsize spare inbetween the bulkhead and the wheel well, in between the tool box and the bedrail.  It's bunji corded in place temporarily.  I'll probably rig up a mount for it.  Just wondering what everybody else is doing...

Someone just gave me a 32" BFG All Terrain for a spare, complete with rim. Id also like to know how everyones mounting them up. I dont know if i could put one under the truck or not. Maybe i could just get one of those rope chain things like for bikes and tie it to my light bar??

I've been letting mine drive the past few days.  It's doing pretty good...

what I mostly see is the spare tire hooked up to the RollBars in the box, or in a few cases Ive seen them put on the tailgate like a jeep.

I'm actually working on a mount that will secure it inside the bed to the bedrail.  When it gets off paper and I actually have something put together, I'll have some pics.

My girls brother in law picked up an 86 2 wheel for the bed for his 80 4x4 and it had a factory spare tire bracket that bolts to the floor and the lip of the quater panel.

I've always liked the pre-runner style spare tire mounts.  Fabtech Motorsports has a mount starting at $67.

I keep my spare on the right front axle, where the regular use to be.  Got a flat on the freeway last weekend.  Busted the bead off the rim.  That's gonna hurt the bank account!  Can't get the rims anymore!
