Storage solution for underbody spare tire mount area

[peterver63]

Hey guys, many of you have a spare tire mount on the rear bumper, and I was wondering what you are doing with the vacant space in the underbody spare mount area. Do you leave it empty? Is there a solution for using this area to store extra fuel, water, or tools? I haven't really found anything online that looks strong enough to withstand scrapes when on the trail.. Any thoughts?

My guess is it would have to be custom and custom sounds like alot of money.

I thought about doing something similar, mostly because there is no aftermarket support for my car which luckily lets me save up more money for something different a few years from now.

Ive got a tire rack on order and my mechanic says there is a fuel tank to fit the space but why get a tire rack gerry can combo then put a fuel tank underneath ,

How about a second Spare it would be the most useful.

I have heard of folks putting Air tank(s) in there to open possibility of running pneumatic tools/ re-seat beads.

there are aux fuel tanks for the fj that run just over $1000. not sure if the fj counts because the spare is on tbe rear door. airtank would be cool o think. ive seen rotopax mounted under there too.

I saw a photo of a guy that had a dual battery box welded up and placed in that freed up area. Seemed like a great idea.
