I was driving my Blazer in Scotland while on vacation and I went over a rather large speed bump. I heard a loud thud and looked in my mirror and saw a donut rolling around in the middle of the road. I slammed on the brakes and jumped out. My cable assy on the bottom of the blazer rusted off and it snapped. Good thing I was only going 30 mph verses 60 mph around the Loch Ness. Oh by the way, how does one reattach it when it falls off? hehe. I'm talking about my spare tire hanger.

 

HAHAHAHAHA! WOW!

A speed bump broke the hanger!?!?!?!

Im sorry but thats kinda funny

 

Eh, happens sometimes. Especially once rust takes hold of the cable.

Only real resort is to toss it in the back, and find a replacement crank assembly.

 

wow that sucks. my spare tire hangs off the back of the truck which I HATE. i would rather what XBlazer01 has... the bracket inside the truck... MUCH nicer!! or even underneath like u have!

 

if i cut mine out ill sell the bracket to ya LOL

j/p u can have the damn thing. takes up to much room.

WHO NEEDS SPARE TIRES!

 

It was funny for us at the same time. 2 kids in the back, wife in the passenger seat and me the driver just stunned. Is there a repair kit or assembly that I can buy? Yeah it's a donut but it's nice to have that comfort.

 

if it rusted it off... then you gotta just replace that assembly hun...

 

wow lol....time to relocate the spare

 

Yes you can buy this part I know for sure at the dealer (not sure about aftermarket) It's called a spare tire hoist.

 

that is part of the reason that i hav the spare master locked - so if the cable breaks, i wont leave it behind, cause mine is full size

and so it does not get stolen
