With the polar vortex and snow blanketing most of the US, I thought it was appropriate for a quick tutorial on the best settings for snow (and different depths/types of snow). I admit I haven’t had much time to play in the snow and anytime there’s been a little snow, I’ve just used 4A and...

I think if they want it, they are going to get it. They are already cutting the cable from the tire mount system, which means they can likely cut through a cable lock as well....but nothing wrong with an extra level of security in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did but due to some great folks on this forum I’m going to be able to replace everything for a fraction of the cost. Huge thanks to Dustan for just being a great guy and donating the tire mount and thanks to Raptor50 for selling me an unused spare for a reasonable price! Sent from my iPhone...

Thanks for this. Do you guys have a spare tire cover that is referenced on this list? I never noticed one and I definitely don’t have one anymore... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point. Don’t drive nearly as much with the pandemic...thanks for the helpful insight. As for the Pulp Fiction link, great reference!....that is exactly how I felt all day....a very quiet rage was boiling in me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So took a little drive today and noticed something. My auto start/stop was not working. Now don’t get me wrong, I hate this feature and have it disabled 99% of the time. Hard for me to believe something around my spare tire could affect the start/stop feature? Anybody have any thoughts? Sent...

Thanks Smurfslayer. Yea, we wanted to stay in the city as long as possible so we went the townhouse route. More space, garage, small yard. Lincoln Park has always been a great part of the city....but it’s still the city and you get all the bad that comes with it. We have an 11 month old so we...

I thought about that but my ocd won’t allow me to do that. I need my original equipment on my rig. Luckily Raptor50 on this forum is selling me an unused spare for a good price and Dustan is hooking me up with the mounting system. Thanks for helping me out with a shitty situation! Sent from...

We live in great townhouse community in Lincoln Park (Chicago). It’s on a cul de sac so no through traffic unless you live in the community and a very safe and family friendly area. I feel like the raptor was specifically targeted as there are plenty of nice SUVs right around me that have spare...

Thieves enrage me ... my thought is that this was targeted strictly for the potential monetary value. This will make them an easy $400. I’m not a tough guy nor do I pretend to be....but there would have been fireworks had I caught them in the act... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like there was def some prying going on....not sure if that’s going to affect reinstalling the winch that holds the tire in place.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Took a look and it’s hard for me to tell if there’s any damage here. I may just take to the dealer for them to assess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can anybody think of anything else under there they could have been damaged while they stole the tire? I’ve driven only a couple miles since and everything seems ok but I hate knowing that somebody was under there trying to cut free the tire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m in Chicago....so a long ways from you. I’m pretty close to closing a deal on a wheel/tire package so fingers crossed I should be set! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Totally understand. Good luck with the sale! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Corona. I’ve been looking for someone to sell me a spare rim/tire. Hope I find one at a good price. If I can’t find one at a reasonable price I guess I could just go with a steely as a spare! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks sick! Really? That’s so generous man!!! I will gladly pay the shipping. I live in Chicago. I can PM you my address. Today has been a shitty day....you have restored my faith in humanity Dustan!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone just stole my spare. Could you ship to Chicago? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any chance you will sell me just one? Someone just stole my spare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Somebody just stole my spare! Would you consider selling one with the tire? I’m in Chicago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just want to make sure they didn’t damage anything else under there trying to wrangle out the tire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. Looks like they cut the cable but how did they even squeeze in there to cut the cable at the top? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks again for the replies. With regard to the mounting system, is there a bracket or something that they took with them or does the tire just sit there held with the winch mechanism? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. Here are some pics I took. Not the greatest as it’s raining and I didn’t want to lay under the truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sometimes I really hate people. Walked out to my truck this morning and found a cable dangling from the rear end. Automatically figured some a-hole stole my spare. I have no idea what they damaged or how they stole the tire....been trying to find a picture of what it looked like before they...
