That's weird. My bolts that hold the spare carrier to the tailgate are actual lugs. The same as what holds the rims to the rotors. They use the same lug nut as the wheels do. I'll take a pic. |

The bolts that hold the wheel/tire to the carrier are lugs.... The bolts that hold the carrier plate (w/ the lugs) to the door mount are as LilRedLibby says above. Did DC really change from using all lug-type bolts? Anti-Theft Note: Several people said their spares had been stolen even though they had a keyed lugnut on the spare! I have gone a step beyond by adding a special nut to one of the mounting bolts so that wouldbe robbers cannot remove the spare by removing the mounting plate. Chris |

Chetos, I have security nuts that are shaped like truncated pyramids. I am using two to hold the tire carrier on and third is used to install and remove them with a crescent wrench. Lewis |

If he told you then he'd have to kill you so you didn't steal his Wheel. K |
