Default Spare wheel and tire inside??
Anyone have ideas for mounting a fifth wheel inside the back of a rig? I have a JKU and don't usually have anyone in the back seats so the size of a carrier isn't an issue.

Looking for ideas on spare mounts for the inside?

Anyone have this type of set up? I have a Trek top and was thinking of something that might mount angled along with the rear window?? Show me some pics please!?

How about just using some good heavy duty ratchet straps attached to the tie down points in the cargo area? Probably your best bet.

You could try to make a truck bed mount work,will probably take a little fab or just strap the tire to the floor.

I've looked at the truck bed mount and it's pretty high on the list. Going wheeling this weekend so I'll temporarily strap it in but looking for something permanent?

The straps also allow you to take it out to use the cargo area, a more permanent solution would be more limiting, too...

I found this on another site and was wondering if someone makes something like this or is it a custom piece? Doesn't look too complicated. 2" roll bar clamps and some 2" tubing with a wheel mount. Just wish I had a pipe Bender and knew how to weld!?

That's a cool idea.

I put my 35 in the back with the seats up and use dual straps to hold it down. Can't be stolen and doesn't get hit on rocks.
