Default Does anyone have a 40 in their cab?

So for a long time I have been wanting to take my carrier off because I have never really liked mine. So I finally did it and I figured I would just put the spare in the back when its not on the trailer but I never thought about there not being enough room to simply put a 40 in there. I have a 4door and the only way I can see it happening is if I take the back seats out but I would like to avoid that if possible. So what im asking is does anyone do this and how if so?

I've ran a 40 in the back of my two door with the rear bench removed, make sure you lay it flat and secure it down well

Not a 40. But I carry my 37 in the trunk pretty easily. I'd imagine a 40 would fit.

It will go in with the seats laid down but at that point id rather just take the season out and gain more room but kinda hoping to not go that way with it.

when your off-roading do you have 4 passengers or just three. Why I ask is because synergy has the three seat bracket adaptor to allow the smaller rear seat to be used behind the driver and remove the larger portion

Usually its just 2 but sometimes 3. I just like having the option to have more people incase someone breaks something and needs help getting somewhere. My brother thought about that earlier looks like a good option.

If you're handy you can make something like this that mounts to the roll cage. As far as I know no one produces this so it'll have to be custom.

I really like that idea thanks im should be getting a tube bender pretty soon so it will be possible. I might go that way. I will probably have to stop using the trektop though.
