Frunksaver

What is a frunksaver and what can it do for me?

A frunksaver is a tire hold that has the threads extended a few more inches. What this means is you can now flip your spare tire upside down and use that space which was going unused for storage. Use it for an extra bag on long trips, when going grocery shopping, or just throw a roadside emergency kit in there. Take a look for yourself, go out and flip your spare tire upside down now and see all of the space you can gain by buying one of these.

But why do I need to have this in order to flip my spare?

If you use a unmodified hold down the threads will not be long enough and you will not be able to tighten the hold down enough to prevent the spare from moving. As you can imagine if you even brake hard without the spare properly secured it could cause some serious damage to the underside of the front trunk lid, a costly repair to say the least.

Here are some before and after pictures of the space gained.

Cost:

Cost is $25 shipped to anywhere in the continental US. The ones which are being sold now are made from used tire holds and as a result I can lower the price. The quality is still there and they are in good condition save for a few nicks on the underside of the handle. International orders please PM me for additional shipping cost. My paypal address is spydersrus@hotmail.com thanks.

Note: One size fits all.
