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!

Adds much needed space for parts and tools for keeping Vanagon's on the road!
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.
Well made, easy to assemble and install.
