Just finished replacing the spare tire with an original size so the carpeted piece in the trunk lays flat like it should, however there was no way to an hot the spare. Our quick solution was to weld a nut to the floor pan in the proper spot, it works but is ugly! No one is allowed to look under my car now as I am embarrassed on how it looks but like I said, it works. What is supposed to be under there?

If you are missing the mount in the front just mount the spare tire in the rear trunk!
