P/U in-bed spare tire carrier in a 1st gen 4Runner?
Like the title says, has anyone ever put an in-bed spare tire carrier (like from RJR) made for an open bed pickup or J-thing into the cargo area of a 1st gen 4Runner? Are the rear seats still usable? I have a 5th full size spare (32) & 10" rim, and can't fit it under the truck any more (custom exhaust), and don't really want to go the rear carrier route.

I made one that that clamps to my roll bar using four 2" muffler clamps. The tire sits behind the rear passenger seat. I made it out of 2x2 tubing, it is L shaped and has a plate with 2 lugs welded to the short end. I have a 31" tire in the back and it doesn't obstruct the rear view. I have wheeled it pretty hard and it has been solid, I lost a little space in back but it seems like a good tradeoff. (sorry no pics)

I want to put it to the side behind the driver so I can still see out the rear but can't fit my esky and camping box in as well so gotta work something out. Would build a shelf over it and have it flat but then there's no way to strap the wheel down.
Cheers
