Default Spare tire in trunk mounting options???
Looking for some options to mount a 35-37" spare in the back of my unlimited.
I've seen a couple but give me some options or opinions!

We haven't gotten around to it yet on our two door but we plan on fabricating a mount (with the rear seat removed) to fit the tire in. It will be similar to a Pick Up Truck Spare Tire Mount.

Here is an example of the general idea.

Yeah this seems to be the same mount as the second to last pic I put up, so I'm assuming you could buy them somewhere

why would you want to give up space? I pack all kinds of items on a daily basis and even more when traveling/camping

Well it's only going to be temporary, saving up for the ORFAB tire carrier in the future and don't want to ruin ANOTHER set of tailgate hinges... Haha. But I do agree with you on giving up the space, it's going to suck because that's why I bought an unlimited in the first place but like I said its only temporary.

I know i would like something like this. Looks easy to remove also if need be. Did you fab this up or buy from some place? I am surprised something like this has not been offered by a company as mass production yet
