    I don't like the spare under the bed.
    What are my options?
    Of course it would need to be locked and covered from the FL sun...:cool:

    Someone does! I had mine stolen from under the truck! Someone took the time to crank the tire down from under the truck and take it. Needless to say, I now have a lock on my spare.

    You'd be surprised. I know a few people around here who have heard people stealing spares. Anything that is easy money for thieves.
