    Forgive me if this has been posted, still sifting through the tons of info on here.

    I am debating on where to put my spare tire as I have upgraded to 285/75/r16 and need to upgrade the spare as well. Just wondering what experience everyone has.

    There are tons of threads on the subject. I just carry mine in the bed, but I have heard reports of people fitting it in the stock location with and without modifications. You can also get a swing out bumper to mount it too.

    Get a rubber mallet and make it fit under the bed, its not too difficult to massage the various heat shields and stuff out of the way.

    Cool thanks, sorry for the duplicate thread. Impressed that it fits in the stock location.
