In-bed spare tire carrier idea

[Deleted member 30519]

Weird idea but what do you guys thinking about something like this to sit the spare and using a Y rachet strap to secure it to the extender?

This is actually a jam good idea! That is, if you choose to leave your tailgate down to showcase the spare beauty. You also might need to figure out what to do when you want to haul material that need the extender and where to put the spare while you haul.

I think he means that the tire would be standing up, not angled or flat(so the tailgate can be closed).

This thread went 2 years without a reply and the OP isn't even a member anymore lol.

That said I currently use a Y-strap with my tire flat but pushed all the way to the tailgate. It's fine but since I got my Softopper put on it's a hassle to load equipment behind the wheel. Open bed, totally awesome way to carry.

Even though I have a bed rack setup for long trips I just throw the spare in the bed and use two ratchet straps in an x pattern with the stock tie downs for day trips or tippy trails

No reason to overthink it, and you still have use for your bed on non-wheeling days

can u share some pics? Just got my 38” tires and will be getting a MetalCloak 3.5” short arm lift kit installed.

Am aware that the spare carrier can fit a 37” max and prefer driving with a spare at all times.

Already got a bottle jack so I am good with that. Just need to figure out a way to make sure my spare stays in place
