The hydraulic Spare tire cylinder is separate from the cab. Inside the little box on the side where the controls are, they are separate controls. Spare tire switch is for spare tire, cab lift control and ect..

"Or something" is an INVITATION to Chucky, you know that, right?
Maybe i could cut the bottom out of the kitchen sink and hinge it like a trap door and mount the cylinder to that trap door so when the sink gets too full of dirty dishes to take a piss i can dump them out on the ground under the trailer the floor rotted out under the sink when JIMMY CARTER was president and themaloo says she likes washin the paper plates outdoors anyways say she has to clip em on the cloths line to get them to dry and the dog not chew them up so thanks for wakeing up my creative side !!!!!

Well in the pictures on the wall at the antique store in town shows a big semi and a trans am speeding down the road with Jackie Gleason (BIG STAR ) chasing Bert Rentals (Another big STAR ) I try to catch ALL their new movies and Jerry Reed ( Big country and western STAR) is drivin the semi ! Looks like its gona be a goodn !

But ive got to sale the cylinder first cause they sold me 22 new movies on beta ( cutting edge tv technology) so i can pay the man at the lawnmower shop that works on beta in his spare time to fix mine ! I just spent 20 bucks down at the piggly wiggly on popcorn for the big movie night ! and a case of BUSH beer ! They will be jealous of me for a month down at the CO-OP after this !
