good idea. what if you put them just on the left side, or the right side? so one side would be drawers for small parts and tools, and the other would be for parts?

Thanks, I added a 1 small drawer like jbetit suggested.I got it out of an old craftsman tool chest and just modified the tracks a lil bit.I will put some small hand tools and crap like bearings and etc in it,and mountedI the spare.I think this is the end of the storage project(right?)

I'm running 33x12.50s the spare is a 33x9.50,I think any wider and it would make contact with the rear glass.You could however move it towards the front a bit and maybe let it rest on the rear seat a little or build a small ledge at the front of the deck so its not on the seat.

Yeah I doubt a 12.50 would work very well. You couldn't see out your rear window at all then. I really like your set up great job by the way.
