where can I find interior spare tire mount?

[chris777]

where can I find one of those interior spare tire carriers or mounts that allow you to cary your spare tire behind the rear seat, standing up, next to the rear quarter panel windows. I have looked at MAF, SOR, and other places but can not find one. I want to be able to carry my spare tire inside, to allow more undercarriage clearance.

That makes two of us. I'm looking as well....

Spector Off Road makes one.

There have been few threads about this (use the search function). Here's one thread I found with pic's of the steel one I made.

And here's a link to pic's of an earlier wooden version I made (before I got my welder)

DIY

Pull off the panel on the driverside and you will find sheetmetal upright struts w/ slots in them. You can use fender washers, nuts, and allthread. Punch a small hole in the panel, re-install over the all thread. I used a wingnut and a jam nut through one of the lug holes in the wheel. Snug the tire up against the panel, and viola...

Admittedly not the strongest attachment, but it has survived some jumping and washboard roads

Sorry, no pics. But you probably get the idea. It actually looks alot like the 55 diagram above.

I used one of those for a while. It's okay if you don't mind tightening it frequently, having your spare rub against the glass and smell the tire all the time.

Chris, call Jason at JK customs to make you one. He is down in Austin and has 60s around to make measurments. It should not be that expensive.

Chris, I bought one of the SOR ones from a fellow Mudder who told me he didn't, and I wouldn't, like it. It was okay for a while but rattles loose and takes up a lot of space as well as rubs the window. I can't recommend it as a soltution though they do make good tie-down points or jerry can holders as I use it now.

Chris, I think Gary is on the right track.
Ask Jason to build you a swing out for the rear.

That's the one I mentioned in my post above. Get for $10 and you'll be satisfied for a while.

About $3 in hardware will get you one. For the deluxe model a couple 2x4s to keep rubber off your interior. Search for the thread that has "yooper"'s mount.

I like the interior setup myself. If you dont get yourself into tight spots, then you might go for the outside rear. Just my opinion, as everyone has one.

I fabbed this one and it has worked out great.
