Spare Tire Carrier Problem Anyone?
Wondering if any of you have the same problem with your factory spare tire carrier that I'm having.
Everytime I swing it out to load or unload, the damn thing swing back into me. Is anyone making a lock to hold it open for safer loading and unloading?
I checked to see if I can tighten the bushing to make it more resistant to swinging, but its locked in.

It takes a lot of effort to move my spare ,and it stays wherever I push it. I don't know why yours moves so easy. I recently greased it as well. May be put some adhesive grease in bushing. regards The Rebel

You can always do what the previous owner of my truck did...
Just slam the thing so hard it breaks the bump stop off. It puts a nice dent next to the tail light when you do it right.
I still haven't fixed it. You almost can't see it, and there are so many other things I can spend my money on with an H2!

That's what your butt is for.
Another option - bring down your hatch just barely enough to catch the tire edge. It will hold it open for you.

Sounds like mine's loose; I'm going to try and tighten up that bushing. I just thought that if its swinging closed on me when I'm trying to load my beer at costco, what's it going to due when I'm trying to unload my beer on the trail!
