ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for storing a spare tire or the like beneath a vehicle, such as beneath the bed of a pick-up truck, includes first and second spaced-apart support bars and first and second pairs of suspension arms depending from a bottom part of the vehicle. The first and second support bars extend between the respective first and second pairs of suspension arms and are mounted to respective laterally extending portions of the first and second pairs of suspension arms. The first support bar is detachably coupled to one of the first pair of suspension arms, so that when the first support bar is detached therefrom, the first support bar is rotatable with respect to the other one of the first pair of suspension arms, thereby facilitating removal of the spare tire from beneath the vehicle. The bottom part of the vehicle has an opening above the support bars for allowing access to the spare tire from above the vehicle. A cover member is hingedly connected to the bottom part of the vehicle for closing off the opening.
