Re: Working Man's Burbon
I'm hoping thats not the case.
 A couple years back the nut that secures the spare tire in the well. The nut was held in place with what appeared to be a pair of stamped tabs as shown by the arrows. To reattach the nut I cleaned up the nut and the vertical sheetmetal so the nut fits tight in place. Then I drilled two holes to allow me to plug weld the nut on all four corners. Three of the four welds can out perfect and the fourth just okay but it should hold the tire as good or better than the factory did. Tomorrow I'll clean it up some with a grinder and then apply some paint.
