Is it legal to have the spare wheel in the back?
Hi,
I'm wondering if it's legal (Australia) to have the spare wheel in the back behind the rear seats and if so what proper method to secure it.
thanks if you can help me.
p.s 94 4runner, spent stupid amounts of money on it including fully reco engine, can't sell it for all I've put in to it, bigger than I need and I can't do much work on it myself but it's been running trouble free and like a breeze for years now. cept for the friggin air con. fixed once, broke again after two uses. bugger it, that's what windows are for.
very reliable. rear right tail light tends to blow regularly though....

I have bought trucks new (Ford) that have the spare in the cargo area. I actually prefer the spare in the cargo area as when it is mounted to the back hatch, you lose a lot of visibiltiy. The truck I had was a little donut for a spare tire and with it being small and mounted on the side, it was a great set up for me. You will need to check Austrailas requirements.
