Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have seen a couple of references lately on using the void that is within a spare wheel, mounted on the back, as a good storage unit.

Perhaps someone will find it useful, does not look to hard to make one up.

It requires that the spare is turned around which may mean fabricating alternative mounts, in this case some Merc G-Wagens have the spare mounted this way from the factory.

spare is still inflated your just using the space inside the rim.

I like that idea, how do they attach the locker to the rim though?

I assume the nuts are tightened from within the locker case itself, which is then locked.

if you open the link it shows a photo of it out of the spare

It uses a backing plate with the stud pattern of the car so you just tighten the wheel nuts to hold the rim on over the backing plate. The front panel is attached to the backing plate via 4 rods.
