    Exclamation spare tire location for a TXW175?

    Right now my spare is mounted just in front of the console a bit. The problem is, that I can't see my trailer tire when I'm driving cause the spare is in the line of view. I thought about mounting it flat by the winch area. Has anyone done that with theirs?

    Yes. I put a short piece of 2" X 2" between the yellow running lights too keep the wheel/tire off the lights. Made a J bolt to go in the hole on the frame cross member, laid the wheel on the frame, put the J bolt through one of the lug holes, and put a large washer and nut on the J bolt to hold it tight to the frame.

    I have mine mounted vertically across from the jack. It doesn't block my view from there.
