may03LT Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 So, you trunk guys, how do you access your spare tire? Id have to remove the rear seat, unsecure the box, slide it forward, then get to it. I think this is a reasonable sacrifice considering ive given up my whole trunk almost. My mom, thinks its retarded. I said the other options are leave it in the garage and have someone drive it to me (my least favorite option), or pay for AAA i guess. Again, she thought those options were retarded. I know alot of you who have trunks and big boxes in your DDs have to have some way of dealing with this. So what do you do? Former trunk guy here. This is exactly how mine was, except the rear seats folded down. I could just push the box back after unbolting it. It would go back far enough to get the spare out/ access the tools.

How often do you use the spare? It shouldn't take too long if you really only need to have access 1 or 2 times a year. Only other option IMO is to sit it in the rear "footwell", behind the front seat. Do what you gotta do...unless it's a showcar, or you're a chauffeur.

Was thinking 4 6x9 in 4 cube at like 30 hz... These are the things that make me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbound Train Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) My spare tire is under the bed of the Ranger. I can still get to mine with a system and have space for a rack for an extra batt. I know when I had my cavalier it was a pain moving the damn box and pulling out the spare if needed.

sqsux Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) There's a wall in the way. Then put it in the port. And I refuse to sport a spare, so I don't even worry about it. plus my dad's friend owns a towing company. Edited April 24, 2010 by vengfuldev Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along.

David78 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) Just make a roof rack on your car, and only carry your tire when you take a trip. I used to do that when i owned my Bronczilla.

mrafrica Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 ktowndriftking does have his tire where his back seat "was" haha. for me it would suck to get a flat as i have no cell to call for help and pushing the box back would not workout cause i dont keep the special bit to takeout the back of the rear seat in the car. fuckit keep driving. stock rims are cheap. Quote And far as the best connection ever....... get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.

siucsaluki11 Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 get a 89 subaru dl, the spare is under the hood now thats just crazy. Seeing as in my 5 years of driving (well, 6, but 5 with a license) Ive needed a spare twice, once when i spun out my moms subrurban on a nasty corner in the rain back in HS (broke the bead and the tire went completely flat, but not till after a 270 into curb hop. And once in my lancer recently when i blew a tire. Dont know how, it was dark and late, guessing pothole. So i think ill just carry a 17mm and 14mm sockets, and a socket wrench, and a Phillips tip screwdriver, which is everything ill need to get the back seat out, and unfasten the brackets i fabbed that hold the box in place. Funny thing, my dad, who i expected to flip shit over this (mind you he still doesnt and WONT know about the sheet metal i removed for a long while even though its my car, he would flip shit and call me a dumbass till he was blue in the face) was pretty chill, didnt really give a shit, where as my mom, the usually more relaxed of the two, flipped shit over something so small and insignificant. Greatest question, You didnt think about this before you did all this? Answer: Yea, i planned on this all along... Her: Thats the most asinine thing ive ever heard, who the hell would do that? (not a completely lame mom though, shes a pretty good shot) Obviously shes never been on SMD Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...
