I just bought the truck and it didn't have a spare, so I made the guy give me one. the problem was he didn't have the key to hang it back under the truck. I have the spare riding in the bed of my truck, but would much prefer to mount it under the truck. Of course don't want to spend a bunch time and money trying to find a spare tire key.
The way I understand it is if the spare isn't mounted, all you have to do is crawl under and pry the key socket off the winch. Then, assuming the winch is working, you can just crank your spare in place.
