How to remove spare tire

Just wish another way around instead of having to take bed off, is there?

 

I really do not know.

 

Nice! If you use ABS instead of PVC or Black Spray Paint on the PVC, it will look OEM.

Nice little find! Thanks for including the link too!

 

It got cold the other night and my Tire Pressure Light came on. I checked all 4 of my tires and they were spot on! I then lowered the spare and it was the tire at fault... I aired it up from the 20PSI it had bled down to and flipped it to make the Schrader valve more accessible. TPMS still reads the tires pressure, so I am good there. The alarm light cleared. While I had it down, I WD-40-ed everything and added in a section of black ABS pipe similarly to the piece that you added here in these photos. Works well! I am glad I remembered this when I had the tire down.
Thank you!!

 

It is a great, simple, and cheap mod to be sure.
