Anyone know if it'll fit in there? I'm getting some 31's in about a week and want to know how pressing this spare tire storage is.

Anyone who knows anything knows that a full-size spare is totally worth it. My pops seems convinced that I should have bought 4 and just used my 'old' 28" tire for a spare....

 

It will not fit, I have a 235/75-15 in the spare tire holder right now and the back hatch barely shuts,just barely.

 

Sure it will..I read a writeup somewhere about how to make it fit..I'll look and see if I can find it..

 

I have 31's with a full size spare and it wouldn't fit in the stock location. I think I read somewhere that it might just fit if you take out the black metal base. I'm not sure though because I seem to remember that it was more the seat that was on the way but it's something to try. I just threw my spare on the roof.

 

x2. I have one of those back there, brand new. I am a 100% supporter of the full-size spare.

 

The full size spare just makes better since. It is much more safe than running an odd sized tire. Anybody with a locking diff. will tell you an odd sized tire just won't work.

 

Where do I put the damn thing? I'm having trouble finding a roof rack on a budget

 

make one like mine, just mount it a LITTLE BIT BETTER

 

A full size spare is worth it. I didn't even try to get my 31 in the stock location. I removed the hardware in the stock location and used 2 bungees and secured the 31 in the rear area.

 

You can lay it flat in the rear cargo area. You will lose alot of space but it works.

 

mines in the stock location held in with a couple bungee cords. works fine and i still have plenty of room for storage. i can try and get a pic if your want.

 

If ya got a hitch you could get one of them hitch mounted spare tire holders some even fold down so you can get into the rear hatch

 

do that ^^ and build a floor/shelf type thing over the top out of wood (if that makes sence) ill try and find a pic of what i mean

 

I dint think of that. They make a cargo rack for the back that is the same construction as a roof rack.

 

That's actually a really good idea. I'll start looking into this. I have a beautiful table saw for it too
