One of the lugs on the tire carrier is cross threaded. I have looked for awhile now and can't seem to find out what size die need to fix it. Anyone know the size or a link they can add for me to check out?

I believe it's 1/2"-20

Yep and you can buy a split die, start it on the portion of the stud where the threads are still good to line it up and then back it off the stud and should clean the threads right up.

As mentioned, 1/2 - 20 is what you need and I might recommend using some cutting oil on the threads too. If you don't have any, you can get by with some motor oil.
