No Spare Tire - I Have a few Questions

[dhrivnak]

Can you recommend a brand? Or do you know/remember which one you have?

I suspect I will be very lucky if I can plug like you. You sound like you're in great condition; keep it up!

Thanks,

Model Y - No place for my spare...SOLVED

I our purchased a 2023 model Y and got a spare tire from modern spare. It took up the whole truck and it was unsecure.

I was able to modify the area under the false floor to fit the spare. Very easy and limited tools required.

Watch the video below for the solution

My apologies Joe. I was connected to my work VPN and it was blocking your video link. I figured it out when your second post was also missing the link. My bad.

I took out the tub liner and the floor fits flat. I can always put it back to normal. Feels good to have the spare with me as I do a lot of country trips here in Australia. I did add another tie down on the right-hand side so the spare will not move around.

Today I rearranged the setup. 

All the tire repair equipment is under the wheel like, compressor, pucks, jack repair kit. I placed tie down straps in through the original cast holes. I just completed a 700 Km Day trip no rattles squeaks etc and still had a full boot / sorry trunk space.

So the tub liner is now in storage above my garage.

That looks great!
And all you had to.was to remove the tub liner?
Did you have to make any permanent modifications, or can you get it back to original without buying any parts?

jacko306: I have my Vredestein SpaceMaster spare in the tub, vertical, leaning front/back, but it isn't secured.

Could you post a photo of the rearmost strap mounting point, which I see appears symmetrically on both sides? I'd rather not remove the tub, if there were a way to cut an access hole and thread a strap through the mounting hole.

I hope this makes sense...

Nothing cut can all go back to standard if I change cars.

On each side of the casting there are holes. I just threaded the tie downs thru them. I was never happy just having the spare in the trunk if you have an accident, I think it would move around the cabin a lot.

If I get some time next weekend I could shoot a quick video. It only took about 20 mins to do the whole thing.

It would be great if you could post a video! I would love to do the same!!! Thanks in advance!
