The 21 gallon fuel tank has a recess in it for the small sized spare, there is a chunk of foam and a tie down plate that goes with it. The spare would need to be filled with air to use, and the stock jack is a public danger. Altogether German goofy.

I took my spare out along with the the charcoal canister, the blower motor and ventilation hoses. Took out close to 300lbs now (long list), and looking for another couple hundred to remove.
