Default Mounting Spare in Trunk

Has anyone relocated their spare to the trunk? I would just throw it back there (it fits nicely) but I'd like to have it secured down in case of an accident/collision.

I've seen pics of it done here on this forum. They all seemed to be strapped down with tension cables tho, def wouldn't toss it back there either. having a 50+lb projectile in a accident would not turn out well

It's the OR FAB Prerunner Tire Carrier. It fits best in that direction in the 2 door. I have 2 "Action Packers" in the space between the mount and the tail gate.

Thanks. This is what I would need.

Now, to decide if I want to spend the money and compromise all of that space for cosmetic purposes...
