Dropping the Tacoma Spare

SO .... What does it take to drop the 2017 Tacoma (Limited) spare tire from it's stored area under the bed...???

 

thanks

 

It's really easy. After having 11 flat tires in 17k miles, I would know...

 

Do you live next to a nail factory? How the hell could you be getting this many flats?

 

WTF? I had 5 flats in the last 20 years. What am I doing wrong!?

 

Why don't people check the manual first... Hell not even the manual the fuckin tire iron has it on its little storage bag thing.
Have we really reached this point with the internet and technology that we can't even pick up our manuals anymore?

 

I think you're doing it right lol

 

I guess it's the "there is an app for that mentality". Too lazy

 

I think the acronym RTFM was invented by douchebags on the internet.

It's not a big deal.

Plus the manuals suck to find stuff in.

 

So is the Bible but fuuuudge. Give the manual a try.

 

I think this thread is idiotic, don't care if that makes me a douchebag.

 

I chalk it up to the P-rated Goodyear Adventure tires. Ten flats were small sharp rocks and I picked up one screw. I tossed the stock tires (with 50%+ tread remaining) and installed LT tires.
Here's my story...

Naaaaa, you can only be a douchebag if you are from Canada.

 

It wasn't that hard to find. The table of contents had a section for changing tire. Go to that page and read. I didnt leave my couch, I found it on the downloaded pdf version.

 

But in the process of getting the stuff you need for it you'd see how to lol

 

iPhone is already in everyone's hands or pocket anyway. Have to put the phone down to open the glove box and grab the manual. Can't have people putting down their iPhones!

Also, if you have never dropped the spare, or haven't done it in a long time, it could be stuck and need a couple of kicks. And while you have it down, get some grease on the chain.

 

Probably why they printed that exact page of the manual on the tool kit.

Next post, "how do I remove the rubber strap for the tool kit".

 

"Where is the toolkit?"
