Message:
I took my tailgate off this past weekend to load something on my truck. After I took it off, I saw this "tube" under where the tailgate is right behind the license plate bracket. The "tube" seems to be on some sort of bushings and can be removed quite a bit. It doesn't look like it does anything. Does anyone know what this is?

I believe that is the tube the jack handle slides down to lower the spare. It connects to the little black rubber "thingymagig" circle above the bumper correct.

I know what that is. But this tube is about 2 inches in diameter and runs in parallel with the rear bumper. Its black and right below the jack handle thing.
