Hey everyone!

I recently found a Detours knucklebone tire carrier locally for a decent price. I bought it blind without knowing the pieces it’s supposed to come with. Well turns out I’m missing a safety pin to prevent the carrier from swinging down. I also don’t have any bolts to mount the tire onto the carrier.

What bolts are you using to mount the tire on to the carrier? I’m looking for length and thread. How are you keeping the bolts from falling out when you need to remove the spare? I’d hate to remove the spare then lose a bolt and unable to mount the destroyed tire. Are you using lock lug nuts to keep someone from stealing your spare?

Thanks for the help everyone. I know someone on here has had these thoughts run through their head at some point.
