Anyone else recently take delivery without their bed cover installed and realize the spare can be stolen even when the vehicle is locked? The "help me I'm trapped" button works regardless of vehicle lock status. anyone can walk up to my truck, push the human release button (since I don't have my bed cover yet), drop the gate, and pop the spare hatch right open. Fortunately I'm usually parked in a garage and my works parking lot is surveilled..... Just a heads-up to turn your gear guard on!
Let me get this straight. You just advertised exact instructions for how to steal your spare to a whole bunch of people who had their spares removed from their configuration, and who are going to have to wait god knows how long to get one out of the gear shop?

Thank you kind sir. Now if you can just DM me your address!

Sure. But how many of those had a spare that was worth $800+? ??
Have you seen some of the custom wheels on Wranglers? Admittedly, the spare on my F-250 was a $50 junkyard buy, since my truck didn't have a spare when I bought it.
