I was driving on I-4 north of Orlando in some serious construction and very bumpy. Likely lost it during that pounding.
As for security I have seen other posts saying they use a ratchet strap or some means to add security to the tire. I will be adding something, just not sure what yet. Anyone have ideas for us?

After reading about your lost tire, I started a new thread about securing it, there have been a few good suggestions. You might want to take a look at it.
I have never been too fond of that spare tire carrier, after reading about yours,I am a lot less now. I will do something to make sure it doesn't come off.
