jack relocation?

i know there are some people on here with some pretty good ideas, so anyone know where i could move my jack and tire change stuff to? i have a supercab. i want to put my amp where it is, its a 1800 watt amp and it wont fit anywhere else, my homemade fiberglass box takes up all under the back seat on the drivers side. so i need some ideas on where to put the jack or even somewhere else to put the amp. thanks guys

I relocated mine. Mines relocated into my garage! lol I hate that darn jack, it's in the way every time I fold the seats up, so I got rid of it completly. Hopfully I won't get a flat on the side of the road or else I'm out of luck then.

Dup is your man for that question.

He had a good write up on it last year.
Sorry at 28.8 I'm no good at helping search

I was thinking bout mounting underneath the truck but if I get my toolbox for the back (which Im undecided) I'll just throw it in there.

My jack (reputed to be almost worthless) went under my hard tonneau along with my spare tire. I'll call AAA if I have a flat.

Leave it home and join AAA.

You're more then likely never going to use it even with a flat.

i was thinking of doing it under the truck, but now im seeing that it should go under the hood with no trouble. this truck needs a little more room in it. im trying to get my infiniti 12 and amp that i already had to fit in this thing. I'm trying to keep expenses at a minimum for the moment, all my money is going to get my baja done.. i got the box painted up, needs a little more work though, ill try to get it in this week and get some pics up here

Getting behind the rear seat is a real pain to be honest with you. Espeically the first time, after that you get used to prying at what you can't see and going off how it feels. If you do a search there are a few threads explaining the details on it. Basically you have to remove the center seatbelt/cap then push on a set of clips under the seat. There is a PDF service page floating around about it. I'd do the search.

Here is a dry fit for my multi channel amp. If you don't have the power rear window it is my understanding that there is even more room. I put my mono amp on the other side where the "X" is.

I'd still love to see some great ideas/solutions for relocating the jack. Dup's move doesn't work for 4x4s by his own admission.
