Spare tire flip for added storage

[AZ_85623]

There is an existing thread about what people store under the cargo area.
https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/junk-in-your-trunk-whats-under-your-cargo-mat.7314/

I flipped my full size spare tire after reading that discussion and wanted to add specific information on the bolt needed.
ACE hardware supplied me with a M10 x 1.5 100mm full thread bolt for $4.
The cargo bed tray should be in the upper slot.

The jack and tire iron are normally under the spare, I moved them to the foam trays

Remove the spindle and replace the spare face down

Now there is a larger accessible space for storing more junk.

Breaker bar FTW. Good work!

I store my windshield sunscreen and straps for my bicycle there.

Did you notice that your valve stem is now upside down? You will have to remove the tire to check pressure or add air.

Is it safe to assume this only works for temporary/space saving spare tires and not full size spare tires?

The photos are showing a full size spare (Pirelli 235/65 R17)

My spare was a full size 225/65R17 until I upgraded. I also added TPMS to my spare, which is on a matching rim. I can do 5 tire rotations with no issues. Thank you Discount Tires.

Would this product help to work around the valve stem being under the tire?

There are all sorts of flexible and bent valve stem extensions to choose from, I looked them up too many to list. You just screw them on until you need to change the tire, no fuss.
