Roll Pan / Spare Tire Question
OK.... unless I drill a dayum HOLE in
my new rollpan, I can't get the tire
to crank down. Am I doomed to riding
around with the spare in the bed?
How did you guys address this?
TIA

My Lund roll pan came with a hole. I don't ride around with a spare tire. I have never got a flat tire before, ever in my life on the road. 
I don't carry a spare unless I'm going a long ways maybe 600+mile trips.

Well I think the hole would really look bad in the Sir Michaels.
Must get creative, I guess ... a Rube Goldberg contraption
would be appropriate .... LOL
Driver drops cheese on floor ...
Mouse chases Cheese ...
Cat in wheel chases mouse and
wheel lowers spare tire ...

I keep my Hoosiers QTPs in the bed at all times as my spares , So I already addressed that issue.
Good Luck.

possible scenario,
ZO6 revs at you. You roll down your window and ask him if he'll wait a few moments until you can pull over to a safe location, jack up your truck, remove wheels and tires, install the DOT's, check tire pressure, and do a quick burnout.
Yeah, sure that's going to happen.

The other 99% of ZO6 owners never let the car leave the garage and Zaino the thing 2-3 times/week.

It's crude and ugly, but here's what I did. I cut down the plastic tube and an old tire iron. Then, welded a socket on the end of the tire iron. Works great and just keep it in the truck.
