Heading to carlisle tonight so I figured I would check the spare ...It was inflated..I notice if I want to go spare delete,I guess I have to unscrew the hangars that hold on to the tire carrier correct?

If you tighten the tire carrier without the spare it just will rattle every time you hit the slightest bump since there's no weight there..

So, in conclusion , if I want to run without the spare I have to remove the tire carrier correct?

I did this on my 73 because the spare was full size and it was flat to begin with..Didn't want the excess weight so I removed everything......Have lightened my 73 by at least 250 pounds since owning....

I would like the run the Z with no spare...So if I do I would have to remove the tire carrier I assume...
