If it was under the bed I probably would have left it there. The previous owner had it in the bed, when there was a cap on. I put it behind the passenger seat and secured it by tilting the seat back. If it was a standard cab then maybe I would want to add a bracket or something in the bed.
Where do you put the spare?

My spare is under my mom's Mustang about 100 miles from where I live.
Not useful, I know.

Sounds like your spare is about as useful as mine.

Mine is in my garage because the eyelet bolt snapped in half when I needed to remove it to replace my rusty leaf spring shackles. I would buy a bed mount spare holder if I didnt use the bed of my truck so much.

nothing like trying to get a spare tire from under the bed in 0 degree temps and 10+ inches of snow, and a howling wind.
mine's in the bed... but that's just me.
