Was just going through them actually. Must have missed it the other day. I haven;t pulled it yet, but will do so by Sunday, and can send it to you Monday.

I looked at mine the other day.

A thought, wouldn't it be easier to have a piece tacked to the rear bumper and turned up to prevent the bolt cutters having access.

Since I don't have one, I can't tell but that sounds like a good idea. I'll take a look when I get my spare and lift mechanism.

yeah, a piece of crome or stainless about 2 inches bent up and tacked onto the bottom of the bumper I think would resolve access for bolt cutters.

I agree, that would be the easiest and cleanest way to protect your spare tire cable. I don't think there's any other easy way to get to it other than between the bumper and the body.
