Ok, I finally got the spare on. What a PITA.

I put it on last Saturday and went to bolt it down, but the stock lugs weren't long enough to work. I couldn't get the socket deep enough into the rabbit where the lug goes against the wheel. So off it came.

I stopped by the dealership to show them the Alec's Moab disc and mentioned the problem and you know what happened next. Yep, the great guys at Hall HUMMER GAVE me a set of locking lugs for the spare!

So I pop the spare back on last night and go to install the license carrier and....
It doesn't fit!

The wheel is so wide and deep I had to trim the carrier. Of course that means I got to play with some of my new air tools.

As you can see from this pic I cut it pretty short behind the license plate. I also had to bend the corners of the plate to make it work. Finally, I added some self stick protector thingys under the plate's fold.

Now I just need to find a different place to mount this thing. I don't like it back there. I just know I'm going to drag it around the trails like an anchor.

Your license plate is drooping on the right side.

You've already spent enough on mods but.....

custom build a slantback-type bed cover and mount it on top of that!

I thought he could just do it okee style and loosly hang it from bailing wire under the bumper. That way it can just roll up on a tuff departure. Another added benefit, if your running from the law the wind will keep it up and unreadable!

Looks great, Ken.

I've been meaning to mention ...

One thing I really like about the desert sand paint is, in the right light (like in your first picture above), it looks so ... so ... well ... it looks pewter.
