- SPARE TIRE MOUNT ANGLED B
Going to look great in my truck bed after I repaint. Large scratch on side of the handle. Wished it had a quick release so I can be removed easily for hauling stuff.

I just got done putting this in my 2001 Tacoma. The mount itself works very well - the tire is definitely held on tightly, and it's very easy (and advisable) to snake a cable lock around your spare and through the mount to secure your wheel. It doesn't ship with any instructions, though it's very straightforward. 4 bolts to attach it to the bed, and then "sandwich" your tire between the mount and the cover plate. Good design and pretty snazzy looking. Of note - the mount that I received was black, whith is the "BK" at the end of the product description. I didn't see an option to order the blue one, which is a bit cooler looking, but it does the job.One thing of note - it ships with 4 very short 3/4" bolts and no lock washers. Since this is a big, heavy tire in an open truck bed, I VERY strongly recommend that you replace their bolts with some longer ones (especially if you have to drill through a crossmember) and use lock washers instead of the basic flat ones that it ships with. Every extra bit of safety you can add to this is important, and a set of 8 lock washers is a couple of bucks at any hardware store.
I've put some pictures of it in my truck in the listing as well.
