Need New Rear Tire Carrier
Hey Everyone! I have a 2003 H2 with the old style tire carrier...the one that is held shut by manually inserting a T-pin (or whatever you call that pin). Well, yesterday I took advantage of the warmer weather and washed the truck, but forgot to put the pin in the tire carrier to keep it shut. This morning on my way to work: BANG, SLAM, BANG!! At first I thought I hit a pothole. But then just as the second bang was about to happen, I saw the tire carrier closing in the rearview mirror and pulled over to put the pin in, but now it is all out of alignment and very hard to close. This happened to me a couple of times before, but I was lucky that nothing broke or went out of alignment. This time I didn't get so lucky. I am totally sick of this tire carrier and I know Hummer came out with a much better latch system that locks automatically when the carrier is closed. I think it is on 2005s or 2006s. Does anyone know where I can pick up one of these? Part numbers? Does it bolt into the same holes on the bumper as my current, crappy one (the last time I looked at one of the newer ones I thought they did use the same bolt pattern)?
