  • As long as you have a spare tire carrier that has 1/2 inch diameter threads this will work well for you. The Spare Tire Carrier Lock # FETCHL07020 is designed to fit the most common stud diameter found on spare carriers, which happens to be 1/2 inch diameter. This is what your spare carrier should have and I'd be honestly surprised if it did not, so it should work really well.

  • Is There a Longer etrailer Spare Tire Lock
  • The etrailer Spare Tire Lock for 1/4" to 7/8" Thick Rims # e98892 is actually a rebrand of the DeadBolt lock so this is the exact same thing. We don't make it in any other size though so if this isn't long enough you'll need a different solution like a cable lock you can wrap in and around the spare tire and your trailer frame. If you want to go this route I recommend the 10' Long etrailer Cable Lock # e98891.

  • Can Demco Spare Tire Carrier Bolts for Holding Spare Tire be Swapped Out
  • If you wanted to swap out the bolts from the Demco Spare Tire Carrier for Bolt-On Swivel Jack # DM15853-52 that hold the tire for something you already have I see no issues with doing this as long as you know the bolts are a strong enough material to hold the spare tire safely while you're on the road. You may consider adding a lock like the Spare Tire Lock # FSTL0603 to discourage tampering with the spare tire. This lock fits 9/16" wheel studs so you'll need to verify that on your end. Attached...

  • Will the etrailer Spare Tire Lock Fit on Wheels of a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
  • The etrailer Spare Tire Lock # e98892 is designed to fit on wheels that are between 1/4" - 7/8" thick; I don't know for sure how thick your Rubicon wheels are but in most cases this lock should work just fine. I would pull one of the lugs off the spare tire carrier and just take a quick measurement to make sure the metal is not thicker than 7/8" though; that's really the only way of knowing for sure as I'm not seeing any information on the thickness of the wheels available in my resources. I've...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 2-bike Part TH45JV Trunk Bike Rack fit a 2002 Chevrolet Blazer

  • Spare Tire Carrier Suitable for Use in 2-Inch Hitch on 1997 Jeep Cherokee
  • The Aries Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier # AA2563000 is intended specifically for use on the 2007 thru 2017 Jeep Wranglers. It is not a fit for the 1997 Cherokee. I checked with Aries to make certain. But we do have spare tire carrier options that might work. We offer the Curt Universal Spare Tire Carrier # C31006 which fits into a 2-inch hitch. This can be used with anti-rattle lock # 63232 which secures it to the hitch and Spare Tire Lock # e98892 which secures the spare to the carrier.

  • Does the Wheel Need to Be Removed While Not in Use on the Dutton-Lainson Spare Tire Carrier
  • I checked with my contact at Dutton-Lainson and unfortunatly neither they nor we have a photo of the Trailer Spare Tire Carrier and Dolly Bracket by Dutton-Lainson part # DL22144 installed and in use on a trailer at this time. With that being said the carrier/tire does not need to be removed while not in use. The tire can simply be left on the carrier until the time in which it is needed arises. The above carrier/dolly works with most 8"-12" wheels that have either a 4 or 5 bolt pattern....

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Use with Spare Tire Carrier to Trailer
