That spare is a 2015+ Mustang spare kit.

It doesn't clear big brakes like Brembo's, Stoptechs, Baer and such, but I think it works fine with Cobra brakes.

The kit is part number FR3Z-1K007-C, and you might be able to get it cheaper from your local Ford dealer

I've been eyeing a subwoofer that fits in the spare tire (there are 3 in existance) Because i have a distaste for randown speaker boxes in the hatch. It just occurred to me that the damn jack is in there (which I should have known or remembered).
I guess you solve one problem and create another.

Only when racing do you pull any of that stuff out
I travel heavy with tools when I am out on the road
There is a lot of open road around here and the loneliest road in America is close
We take 3 spares when we go Chukar hunting in the Hogups

Fear of heights! And it sucks! Used to never be afraid…… but as I’ve gotten older, it’s gotten way worse!

You need to check what’s in the tire well before you get pulled over. There might be a stash of cash or something concealed left over from the previous owner.

Wish I didn't burn up my tires when I first got them. I couldn't believe the burnouts my car can do when I first got it. I bought the package deal wheels/tires from LMR and tore em up. Probably will need the spare sometime now that we are talking about it. Oh, if I could do it over again. If I could do it over I would get the five spoke chrome.

Pete, you could do like Geraldo when he opened Capones vault. Pull that carpet up and live stream it for us all. A full blown Stangnet live event. Lol

I had a buddy who bought former cop Vic’s left and right. He found all sorts of stuff in them. Lots of loose rounds as well.

My pops took me for a ride in the police car when I was a very small kid. He says I was very quiet so when he turned around to check on me I was playing with a huge Rambo style knife that I had found in the backseat.
