Check those spare tire mounts!
We were on our way up the PA turnpike,Rolling with A group of campers. Went through the Lehigh Tunnel, After exiting the tunnel I glanced in the rearview camera to find A Pa State Trooper flashing me over.
Found A wide enough safe area to pull over, When the Trooper came up to the passenger side of the truck, He informed me my spare tire was hanging down on the 5er.
I got under the camper to find that the weld had gave way on the spare tire hanger.
The trooper stayed while I removed the spare and installed A self tapping bolt in the bracket.
Check those welds! That 16" spare bouncing free on the highway would be A disaster.
BTW. It is reinforced and welded properly now after returning home.
