Speaking of things spinning off.....
I just read Greggde's post about his grey water T-handle spinning off and going MIA somewhere down the road and thought I would post another "check it" item.
This weekend, somewhere along the long washboard, the two bolts holding the latch on my tire carrier went missing. For those of you with the aluminess rear bumper with a swing out tire carrier on one side and the "box" of some sort (jerry can/camp box, etc) on the other, you might want to check the two little bolts that hold the latch in place. If you look underneath right by where you put your finger to release the latch you will/should see two hex bolts with washers. Thankfully the whole kit and kaboodle didn't go bouncing down the road with my tire flailing wildly behind.
When I went to pull out the bolts from the other side (so I can go into Home Depot and get replacements) they were loose too!
So, take your allen wrench set out to your rig and give'em a twist. Or, be like me and back them out and throw some locktite on them before you put them back in.
Hope this helps.
