Spare Tire Mod Challenge

The one mod I have been wanting to execute is having the remote spare rod affixed such that you don't have to fish around with a flashlight trying to engage the crank rod into the thingamegig. I haven't seen this mod on Tacomaworld and was hoping I could challenge all to finding a good way to do this.....I have even tried, unsuccessfully, to find a rectangular rubber gasket to fit into the hole at the bumper to keep it from rattling.......HELP!!!

 

Good idea. I too dislike the manner in which i have to crawl under the truck to engage the crank.

Yeah they need a peep hole. But then again, it's not something you should have to do very often.

 

Dam how often are you guys removing the spare? And is it really that hard to remove? It takes me seconds even in the dark to start the crank. All I had to do is peep through the hole once and get a mental idea of where its at.

 

I'm not good with peep holes.

 

I put fur around mine to help me find it in the dark

 

yeah i've never had too much trouble with it u pretty much push the rob in straight and twist it till it locks
