Spare Tire removal

Finally got around to taking the spare tire off the truck. It looks like the first time it was ever removed - yikes.
Will get it a new tire and get the wheel cleaned up.

Yes it looks line the original and I would ditch it also, due to the sidewall weather cracks. At least you did not have to torch it off...

Thought they would have been mounted with the valve stem down so you could check the air under truck and the inner mount on the brace would be against the outer face of rim.

Pretty sure that pic is showing the top side of the tire and the part against the frame/fuel tank and fuel tank straps. And that is what caused the wear marks?

The black marks were caused by me trying to ease the tire out before I got the bolts fully out. Wheel is all washed and looks great, nice beige color, new tire next weekend and then reinstall with new retaining bolts.
