I didn't want a spare tire hanging under the truck (plus the full-size spare didn't fit) so I ran a roof rack with tire mount for the last few years; but I didn't like the wind noise and not being able to park in some parking garages or go through car washes... thus I was looking for an alternative.
Just laying the tire in the bed took up the entire floor space so I wanted a vertical tire mount but couldn't find one that I felt would work with the composite bed. I also didn't want to drill holes.
I came up with a plan... now we'll see how it works.
