    This is how many of them ended up, they actually even had a recall for rusty spare tire mounts...

    Look out for the thread police though!!! :thumbsup: :rofl:

    Are there any tailgate mounts that are difficult to steal the tire from? Not looking for something impossible to steal, but a big enough deterrent for 90% of drive by thefts to not bother with or give up on.

    If someone wants to steal something, they will.

    With that being said, I had wheel locks on my spare tire holder as well as a cable lock I ran through the steel wheel.

    The cable lock could be cut, but I'd hope that a potential thief wouldn't have wire cutters with them if they tried to steal my wheel. Same with trying to get my round/spinning lug nuts which I'll be using again for my new swing out.

    Bike style cable lock and a truck strap - good to go. Truck came with a full size spare so there's a steelie underneath as well.IMG_5408.jpg IMG_5409.jpg IMG_5410.jpg

    Those look like grippy tires!
    I had an '01 2wd 5-spd before I got the '04 4wd; I thought it was pretty quick for a truck, even with the 2.4L 4-banger.

    Keep an eye onthe latch u-bolt. Mine snapped on me while I was out bouncing around. Could have been my fault for having it to tight. But either way I now carry a spare one. I was able to get it from mccarsters or however it's spelt.

    Hard to get good pics, more about specs I guess

    295/75r16 (~34”, a 35” will fit) under bed, clearanced 2” higher than stock. 1” body lift helps

    I’m going swing out and hope to put a spare fuel tank in that location.

    Decided to pull the trigger on the N-Fab mount along with a ProEagle jack, mount, and tool set. Will post update and see how the install goes. :fingerscrossed:

    After getting the truck back from line-x I lagged but finally got it done. N-Fab universal tire mount and the Proeagle Jack installed. Attached are pics of the before and after along with some of the tools used. Thanks.
