What's up Tacoma World - From Chicagoland

Hey all, I'm new to TW and this is actually the first forum I've ever joined.

I've found all of you guys/gals to be a lot more knowledgeable and informative than Amazon reviews!

I recently purchased a 3rd Gen SR5. Pretty much stock except for a 3" lift and 33" tires. ( I bought it that way)

I'm looking to do a 3-4 week road trip with a mix of hotels and camping out and I'm just getting prepared.

I don't have a full size spare, just the factory one under the bed. My first purchase will be full size spare. I don't but waste too much space in the bed keeping it there, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

I'm looking forward to getting to know some of the people in the group.

All the best,

 

Welcome to the forum Nick

 

Thanks! Nice to meet you BINK05TRD

 

Welcome to TW

Maybe add a roof rack and throw the full size on top?

 

I love the idea. I'll research them a bit. Thanks!

 

Welcome to TW.

Edit: Maybe a spare tire mount that connects to your receiver.

welcome from North West indiana (aka chicagoland....)

 

This is great! It would be cool to add a hinge on there to flip it down for easier bed access. I don't plan on pulling a trailer so this may work. Thanks for sharing.

 

I did see a swing out version, but pretty pricey.
I'll find the link & attach.

Welcome to TW, enjoy your road trip! If you haven’t seen this already, seems like people have been getting 33” spares to fit underneath. Maybe more so with 2nd gens than 3rd, probably depends on the particular tire also.
