I have a loud rotational chirping sound which seems to be coming from my front drivers side on my 2006 Limited. As son as I touch the brake pedal the chirping noise immediately stops until I completely let go of the brakes again. Any idea what this might be? Thanks, Greg

I'm trying to sell 5 18" limited wheels 4 have been used and some of them have few paint bubbles/chips on them but not really noticeable when mounted none have curb rash and they would all look great powdercoated, I also have a brand new full size spare with a brand new BFG radial long trail...

Was this any of you Chicago peeps on Lake Shore Drive this morning?

I tested this earlier today on my Spare Tire. It looks freakin awesome! I also peeled it off to see just how easy this would be to remove and it took maybe all of 6 minutes to fully remove. I will be doing this to all the wheels this weekend. I put 3 pretty heavy coats on the wheel and it...

I sent you a PM but I am not sure if the PM system is working or not. Would you take $450 and I can pick them up immediately. I am about a mile away from you (West Lop) and I can pick these up today if possible.

since the wheels are set at a different angle

I actually tried to install this last week before heading out of town. The wing nuts are too big and do not fit in the machined out lug nut area. I could have put the wheel facing down instead of up and that would have worked I think. The disk is a plastic composite which seems really...

I picked up the SpareGuard last week from One Stop trucking in Lemont - super nice guys there. I haven't installed it yet - will take a couple of picks and post them.

Its not the cable that will get cut - its the lock that will get cut - thats the weak link in the system.

I am actually trying to figure out a way to utilize the hitch and some extension pieces with steps on them going backwards and under the spare.

This time It was the actual WinchLock BlackMaxx lock that they cracked off. The Cable I showed in the pic was one they cut thru on my old Explorer a few years ago. This is what was left of the Winchlock

riverider - how thick is that cable you have on there?? just from the looks of it in the attached pic - it doesn't appear that it would last very long here in downtown Chicago - but maybe its thicker then it appears. Motivelock/winchlock - they used to have a big ass cable lock which had...

I guess I would rather have chain rub then no spare at all. The ABUS chains I linked above all come with a nylon sleeve over the chain which should prevent any rubbing.

Hey all - new member! Picked up a 2006 Limited at the end of July & my spare was just stolen this past weekend as well. I actually had the Motive Winchlock Black Max installed on it and they cracked the rod right off above the lock. I had this lock on my Explorer for 4 years and they...
