Default Help me save my tire!

Ever since I broke my stock tire carrier I've had my spare in the back of my Jeep (it's been awhile). I recently got a new stock tire carrier, but I'm starting to like the look of the Jeep without the spare on the back

I was thinking about just leaving it in the back, but I don't have a garage and rarely have the top/windows in. I'm afraid it's going to grow legs and walk off on me.

I took some pics of how it's in there now and I'm curious if any of you brilliant Jeepers can think of a way to secure this tire in here so there is no way possible someone can remove it, except me, of course, when I need it

If I can't come up with something I guess I will just put it on the new stock tire carrier I just got

Thanks!









Sorry about the crappy pictures. I just took them with my crappy phone while I was in the drive through at Taco Bell

build a mount like the rally truck guys have kinda. one that attaches to the floor of your jeep and then the wheel. Then either just use a wheel lock or one of those padlock spare rings.

I think it could be fabbed up pretty cheap/ez. It will look bad ass back there too IMO.

Put a couple of heavy duty steel bars across the back slant of the roll bar and mount it on those with the help of a cable lock. Your back and groin muscles will thank you every time you switch it out. It'll look cool though.

It would be cool if someone could design a mount would allow you to mount the tire in the back like this


and would use the factory seat mounts. That way you can remove the mount and put in the rear seat.
