Spare tire delete options

[Crusher9008]

OK well I removed the tire and jack from my try k. I am having a hard time finding a rubber made or equivalent to out in its place to support the back mat/ carpet. Does anyone have any ideas or even products used in this circumstances.

Ideally I want some type of storage device to hold car detailing supplies when I'm at car shows.


Thanks guys

See post #12 in that thread.

In for ideas as well, want to finish mine up nice as well!

My 6 gallon intercooler tank holds up the trunk mat.

I removed the spare tire junk and used a false floor made out of mdf, mostly because I wanted to mount my nitrous tank to it. Worked flawlessly, after I spent quite a few attempts cutting it to fit the trunk area...it was a bitch to get in and out!

I've seen custom made subwoofers. Pretty neat

I'm in the same boat, mine just says down too

Looks like possibly some of that hard foam could be cut to support it and also keep the weight down.

I've got the same set up. Never had to use it though. Kind of regret spending the money piecing it together haha.

At work we use a lot of plastic banding on our products. The banding comes on a big cardboard reel...kind of like a big ass toilet paper roll.

Just waiting for us to run out on one roll and the tube should fit absolutely perfectly to hold my carpet up!

Your looking at around 40 pounds subtracted from the rear end if you remove the jack, spare, and trunk mat.

Get some 1/4" masonite paneling. Remove the carpet that covers the trunk floor and use it as a template to outline the paneling and cut it to shape making it about 3/4" smaller all the way around it. You can even go so far as to use some 3M spray adhesive and glue the carpet to the piece of masonite.

I did exactly that with my '89 GT I had years ago. Worked perfect!

I've seen a really clean intercooler tank in the shape of a spare tire, can't remember who makes it though.
I leave my spare since it helps with traction lol
