Dropping the Tacoma Spare

"Where is the spare tire?"

 

"Dude, where's my Tacoma?"

 

It might be worth your time to drop the spare, swap it in, and then switch it back out. Better to learn in your own driveway/parking lot rather than somewhere less than desirable.

 

Damn son.... that is some bad luck. You work in a nail factory or something?

 

Manual comes as a PDF now

 

The damn things are hard to remove, especially when you're already pissed about having to change a tire in 100 degree weather on the shoulder of the highway!

 

Are you serious? It's like a 5 minute job from time of grabbing the toolkit to getting the tire out from under the truck.

 

Nice!

 

See post #14 above.

 

Well yea, I was serious. My beef was about the rubber straps though, after burning hands and knees on pavement. It turns out the jack had been slightly extended so it wouldn't rattle, but made it unclear where the rubber strap was actually attached. One more moment of frustration while changing a second blown out trailer tire.

Good times.

 

nice......

 

This thread is ridiculous and I blame Canada. Hahhahhahhahha

 

I hope the OP gets back on this thread and takes full responsibility for what he/she started
