Spare Tire Mount

Lesson learned… NEVER remove the spare tire mount from under the truck bed!
I don’t know how I even got it out to begin with!

 

were you trying to relocate it?

 

Haha! No, just had worried that I might damage my spare on the trails.
I took the tire mount out so it couldn’t get hung up on anything.
I did finally get it put back in so I can put the spare back where it belongs.
Won’t be taking it back out, ever!
I installed the decked truck bed storage for my recovery gear.
Carrying the spare on top of that made it a problem to carry traction boards shovel, and other gear.
Lesson learned.

 

In that case why even carry a spare?

 

I can see taking the spare out from under to avoid banging it up. But, goodness man, that mount is tucked way up there.....what kind of trails are you traveling?!?
