1) With my rear seat removed (and long gone!), I laid mine flat (31.5"),
then used 2 ratchet straps in an "X" configuration woven in and out of the spokes and secured to each of the factory metal tie downs on the floor. IIRC my straps were rated at 7,500 lbs.
2) Rowhard did a spare tire mount in the rear, with the tire in an upright position.
3) I believe JollyRogerVX made a spare tie down like the ones you see in the bed of pickups...tire is up at a 45 degree angle.

Thanks Kat! I was thinking of option 2, but I like the cost of option 1. Removing the rear seat might get rid of that "canary" that lives somewhere back there, lol.
