relocate spare tire on gen 1 Brat?

Featured Replies

Has anyone relocated their spare to a truck like mounting? Like under the bed behind the rear axle? It seems like it would fit easily, a little off to the drivers side than right in the center

 

I am thinking of making room for an intercooler in the sort of WRX location, under a hood scoop.

 

Is there anything I'm not thinking of?

I have a spare saver tire and placed it in a XT spare bag and placed it behind the passenger seat. Under the truck would be good! Keep me posted!!

I guess if you never took it off road, it'd probably work if it's not too close to the exhaust (heat).

I've never used it, but who ever lifted my '78 brat put a heavy steel plate under the bed with a welded bolt centered sticking down. I don't think it would be the best when doing extreme 4 whln, but for everyday dirt roads there would still be decent clearance.
