While washing our TT and doing a little PM, I was going to check the u-bolts that go around the rear bumper to hold the spare carrier. I put the wrench on the first nut and with less than 15 in.lbs. of pressure on the nut twisted it into. U-bolt broke right where the bend is to go around behind the bumper. The other bend was cracked pretty bad too but the other u-bolt looked ok. I’ll be replacing both. Thought I would just mention it as something to watch for.
