We’ve always hated how the full size spare tire was mounted under the rear of the van. Using a razorback spare tire mount for an ATV, we relocated the spare tire inside the van. But the full size spare wasn’t going to work. Found a balloon spare off a 2005 Thunderbird that fits and saves space. Did some trimming to the molding and mounted the spare tire bracket to the side of the van. Took me months to do this cause having arthritis limited my once perfect sewing skills. We’ve still not completed the full diamond tucked interior..
