FYI for anyone running the PSC tire carrier with plate relocation...a 2" trailer coupler lock with a 1/4" pin can be used as extra security with just a touch of filing with a rat tail file without even removing the spare. As an added bonus, no fumbling with the hex heads behind there to get the bracket off.

Probably somebody already mentioned it, but if you have a wheel lock on your spare all they have to do is tighten the other two nuts, which will make the one with the lock loose.

Yeah someone did. That's why I added the coupler lock. Starting feeling like it wasn't protected like I thought.

That should prevent that method. The rotating sleeves came out because you could pound a socket on it and remove it. So to be effective, you really should do all the lugs, 23 in all.
