This makes me wonder about mine, I've never had it down yet. I'll have to try it, Thanks for the "Heads Up".

I got my truck used and I can see the spare has been used. So I guess I need to check this out before I'm stuck on the road.
I have had some old toyota 4X4s in the past and the spare was lowered on a chain winch that worked fine. I don't know if that systen could be change over. Something to think about.
