Bed Mounted Spare Tire Mount

I leave the rear most back seat brackets in place. This creates an anchor for a strap. I throw the tire in the back face down. I have a specific cut to length cargo strap that straps over the tire. I use the back side of the wheel to hold my recovery bag that the strap runs over. I have yet to find that tire to come loose over a full weekend of wheeling. No added weight and nothing to bolt or unbolt. It also creates a flat surface to throw your tool bags onto or something small. If I throw the tool bags on top of the tire, I use a secondary small strap, run the strap through the handle loops and tighten down across the tire.
Matt, I like your approach, I do the same
