I like the idea of having around 25+k visits to this thread. That can be documented and perhaps used to help any of ya'll that have problems with a dealer. ????
I've been experimenting with some other navigation options. Clicking thru is a hassle I'll admit, but some of the other options look promising.
Let's test them out before implementing a change please.
I agree, Good Thread.
Whatever ya'll do on the spare tire issue, do it safe, think ahead. If I were on a trip to Africa, I'd stack tires wherever I could stack them; if I were heading down the road ten miles, I'd contemplate leaving the spare at home. There's a good middle in there somewhere.
BTW-on our old Halliburton pickups we had little homemade cranes rigged up out of two inch or so oilfield tubing and a little hand winch like on boat trailers. It only has to work long enough to get the job done. Hmmmm. Spike on the back bumper (vertical), slide a tight fitting piece of tubing over that (vertical) plus maybe another interlocking section on that (vertical-or screw on) to gain necessary height, a brace to a horizontal section to clear roof line, a cheap boat winch (hand crank), a little cable and walla!! They rotate horizontally by hand, vertical is handled by the winch. We used them to pick of cementing heads when alone (100#-200#) Store the tubing and winch in space available. Not something I'd do for everyday driving, but going overseas may consider. Ours were bolted or welded to the pickup bed. Looked hokey but when one needed it, nothing else would do.
