We’ve decided to try a few local road trips up to a couple hours from the house and see if my back can tolerate it. So I thought it might be a good idea to carry a spare tire and jack again. I stuck a new valve stem in a stock 15x6 powder coated wheel I had laying around, and mounted the best left over Firestone 195x15 tire off my wife’s Toyota. I previously ran this size on the front, so it should be sufficient for a spare without taking up too much room in the bed. I never removed the Camaro spare tire bracket from the bed floor, and kept all the hold down hardware in one place so it was pretty easy to remount the spare. The jack went in the passenger side junk bag and the crank handle was conveniently tethered with the handle/straps on top for rattle free convenience.
I also replaced #6 & 8 spark plugs which need to be cleaned up about once a year.
And the new wide windshield trim is scheduled to arrive Friday. Hopefully I can restart that project next week.
