Spare Tire Removal Tools

I imagine a few years from now, there's going to be many 3rd gens on the road with 15lbs of air in their spare when they actually need it. It only takes a second to fill it up when it's flipped. Too many people just won't deal with it if it's not accessible.

 

Not 14 but I still think like I am. Being mature is another word for boring. Life is too short to not party.

 

I don’t think he meant he was acting immature with the thread itself, but moreso desperate for attention by spamming his thread everywhere.

 

That was my very first mod!

 

Ah gotcha.

 

I like to say “I’m eternally eleven.” Fart jokes are always funny to me.

 

Nothing funnier than a fart, except for kids falling off bikes, I can watch kids fall off bikes all day, I don’t give a shit about your kid.

 

Check out the bait bike, bait scooter, and bait purse videos on youtube. They're hilarious.

 

Oh yeah- when my then-GF took me to meet her fam, her parents showed me an old hom video where she fell off her bike. I laughed so hard I cried. It didn’t go over well. Thankfully we’re 12 years happily married now. She’s only ridden a bicycle once in that time period.

 

That’s like my wife, she decided to ride my bike after not riding a bike for 20 yrs. So she gets on the bike and starts down the driveway to the road, a car is coming so she applies the hand brakes, but never puts down her foot when the bike stops and starts to lean. She fell over with not even moving a muscle. It looked just like a cartoon. I had to turn my head and fake like I was coughing, but I was in tears laughing for a few seconds.

 

I honestly have no clue what two you are putting together. Maybe I am worse at math than I thought?

If you guys think a stick cant get kicked up by your tires and wedge itself to snap the stem off that is fine, I think differently. I sometimes wheel on logging roads that are littered with sticks and crap. Just last weekend I stopped and removed a 5 foot long stick wedged into my rock slider like a spear.



As you can see my full size spare (255/80/17) is flush with my hitch, I just see it as a weak point that can be avoided by having it face up. The way it came from the factory for my truck.





Some proof to backup my bad math skills.

 

Sounds the replacing mattress after 8 years to me. To me a spare is just to get me to tire shop for a matching replacement.

 

Probably wouldn’t do too good of a job if it was dry rotted to hell and your spare went flat as well.

Here’s an original spare that was 12 years old.

 

Guess what? I lost the damn hex piece that goes into the lowering unit... I don't see how a socket will go in... Am I missing something here?

 

Mines in the back of my cap right now until I build my tire carrier.... Goodness I need a tire carrier

 

I appreciate your responding 3 years later.

A ratchet with an extension will fit in there fine. I think it's a 3/8". Not the socket, but the square end of the extension.

 

Also the OP claims a socket actually fits over the whole mechanism. I don't know, I still have the factory tool.

If I think about it later, I'll get my deep dish sockets out of the tool box in the truck to see what size.

 

I had a flat in a bad storm in a tight spot under a bridge... Lost the tool then I guess. Now I'm putting spare back under truck. I had it in the bed. Its not a square male end, its a curved hexagon.

 

Apparently I forgot. I dropped my spare to change rear diff fluid a couple months ago. I checked the pressure and put it back in place.

 

No worries. Just changed diff fluid to RP 75-90. Did breather mod relocate behind L tail lamp. Turn out great. Thanks Pigpen for your help. Gotta love TW. I guess I will just throw spare back in bed until I feel like getting robbed at zee stealership.
