Ranger spare tire bolt

Jul 13, 2003 2 Replies

I lost my bolt for my 94 Ranger, not the eye bolt, but the other one that holds the spare tire up against the bottom of my bed. It looks very ordinary so I'd like to go to the hardware and buy a replacement, but I don't know what size to get. Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks


I just ran a zip tie through mine. It's been holding for years.

LOL, That's great, I just went to the Home Depot and got a 1/2 inch bolt and nut. My old set vibrated off on the highway after I didn't tighten it tight enough. If it happens again, I'll go with a cable tie, which I suppose is the same as a zip tie. That can't vibrate loose, just put in a new one everytime I use the spare.

Thanks very much for the idea. I like simple cheap solutions.
