What do you do with your spare tire?
 
If you have a gas tank in the rear of your PU, what do you do with the spair tire?

What spare? It's in a can behind the seat.

Same place it always has, right behind me. My stepside has the side mounted spare. Probably not what you were looking for. The mounted spare is listed on my options list on the glove box door. Did many of the stepsides come without the side mounted spare, or have y'all replaced the left fenders with one that doesn't have the indention for the spare?

Thanks,

My spare apparently is a great place to store extra nails. This seems like a popular thing to do, most of the cars I've had are like this.

Nichboy 05-23-2002 12:39 PM

Just laying in the bed, waiting to be stolen. LOL

Sliding around in the bed.

busterwivell 05-23-2002 01:48 PM

Mine's in the bed, which is dumb. I don't carry a tire iron or jack. But at least it ain't takin' up space in the garage.

NO spare tire in the truck! Never had a a need for it in the 10 years I've owned it.

The car and van do have spares and have had flats in both of them... go figure.

Sliding around in the bed, and flat. Also have no jack or tire iron in the truck! I've walked many a mile for various reasons, thanks to this truck, so what's a few more? hahaha!

The tires I have on the truck are pretty thick, so I think it would take something pretty heavy duty to pop 'em!
