Question Is your spare tire bin drain plug missing?

I just noticed mine didn't stay put since the last time I got under there to work on the rear shocks and is missing.

Part number, anyone?

I've never had one either, I've actually wondered if there was even supposed to be one...

Actually, I've been using mine as a cooler.

Fill the Spare Tire Basin with Ice and Coors. The water drips out of the plug hole.





What?

Eh... that one's a little too hard to talk around when a smokey's got his big nose poking around in the car. I use mine when we spectate at races-- or during HPDE's.

I filled my well with stereo equipment lol didn't think about the cooler option! my car still has the plug and i check it all the time as i have some money invested in those amps. The plug clogs easy, i had a scare a while back and found a 1/2 gallon of water in the well just below the amps because it clogged. Not good.

I took mine out to prevent the spare wheel well from filling up with water, just in case I have a leak somewhere. . . (I did have a leak that filled one of the 'side saddles' back there.)
