If you are no longer using your front "clam shell" to house your spare tire, you may have realized that this location has a lot of potential for storage. We decided to run with the concept and are pleased to introduce our powder-coated steel storage box! It cleverly utilizes all of the original mounting points (and some hardware) for a super-simple installation process. The flat-pack design allows for the least-expensive shipping cost we could wrangle, but requires some minor assembly. Complete hardware kit and installation instructions are included.

We recommend that you use this storage box only with a metal spare tire hook catch. If you have a plastic or otherwise worn out metal catch, add an all new Spare Tire Hook Catch to your order!

Important note: This product does not double as a skid plate. While it is fairly tough, it is not designed to withstand the abuse of off-road driving. If what you want is a skid plate for off-roading and such, check out our GoWesty Skid Plate.

Cosmetic Note: These panels are coated in black powder coat and often arrive from our supplier with minor scuffs and surface imperfections. Now you know!

More Room Than You Think

Installed the Go Westy spare tire storage container this weekend and I’m impressed by it. It provides way more storage than you think (there’s a few more inches under the floor boards). I’m mainly storing my tools and spare parts for long trips. Freed up a ton of room on the inside. Well worth the price.

I highly recommend sound dampening the container and adding some neoprene on top of it. Makes a huge difference.

I have a spare tire on the swing away and I’m handy with a tire patch kit. No regrets.

After having to move my new larger spare tire to the rear carrier, I needed something to protect the area where the tire used to be. This storage box is well constructed, easy to assemble and has lots of room. After assembly, I sprayed the exterior with undercoating spray for extra protection. Had to figget with the bolt brackets to get them to slide over the bolt slots, but once installed, looks good. With the box dropped down, the interior is pretty easy to access. Could probably use a couple little rubber bumpers to protect it from scraping on the ground when lowered. Now what to put in there.

Nice product that provides a lot of storage. However, the powder coating is flaking off and it’s starting to rust in spots pretty bad. Only had it for less than two years.
