This is what holds the spare.

That strikes me as being as effective as writing "Fragile, this side up," on packages you mail.

I don't disagree, but I've not had any issues with dealer service depts. since adopting that M.O.

Now, as for shipping damage when using UPS and FedEx, that's a whole 'nother thread...

Broke both on my 2 JK's and the JL seems to be pretty much as crappily built
First one had a huge crack with just 33"s and the second the lugs came loose on 2 and the 3rd trapped the lug and nut to the spare, fortunately I wasn't on the side of the road
And people think the rear hinges are bad......

Yes, not much, so you should upgrade if you upsize your tires. I have this: https://teraflex.com/jl-alpha-hd-ad...ount-kit-w-brake-light-camera-mounts-5x5.html

Have you tried a thread chaser?

At least it was a full spare and not a donut

Have you tried a thread chaser?

I've already got it fixed. Thanks

Looking at the threads and the rust that is not impact wrench damage. That is rot and rust.

I agree. The lug nut likely rusted itself on there.
