Default Ditchin the spare

So.... Was losing my mind from the rattle that was getting louder and louder! Made up my mine that just removing the spare all together and storing it in the cargo area would be better than breaking a weld or something. Surprised how much I like the look! Who all makes covers (plate) that replace the tire carrier. Any other ideas? I'll post a pic here in a second

Figure out a way to bolt that sucker down! It would become one helluva deadly weapon in an accident.
