Hey all. I bought my 98 XLT used back in July, and I knew what I was getting into with twenty-five years of wear and tear, but I still love it.

Biggest issue (besides the noisy exhaust) is that I don't have a spare tire, or even the factory jack and wrench components to drop it from the rear. I definitely want to be prepared for a flat, but this is my first time owning a Ford -- anyone have recommendations on what the move is here? Can I just go down to a tire shop and buy a rim/wheel and the wrench components? I've lightly scoured Rock Auto and A1 but can't really find much. Any help would be appreciated.
