    What wheel and tire combo is on your Tacoma? They look really good.

    Tires: BF GoodRich A/T KO's (no longer in production, replaced by KO2's) 265/70/R17's (no lift whatsoever on the Tacoma)

    Wheels/Rims: Discount Tire brand, MB "Torque" Wheels (particular style/model rim no longer in production).

    ......and yes even my spare has the same brand tire & wheel rim to match (believe it or not). The spare tire is stored up "inverted" so that the front/face of the wheel/rim does not get marked or scratched from small rocks, etc. and has an external air hose connected to the spare tires air stem valve that is connected to the bumper in order to check the air pressure from time to time.

    This is the stainless steel braided external hose kit that is connected to my spare tire and rear bumper. Years back I had originally purchased it through Camping World website but now Amazon is offering it from various sellers
    (https://www.amazon.com/Wheel-Masters-82286S-Spare-Inflator/dp/B002IUCFIA )
    It may not look like it's long enough but believe me it is.

    This is what it actually looks like once finally connected to the rear bumper. Basically you can set it up just about anywhere you want (drill a hole on a trailer connector hook up, that is if you have one?). I just chose a spot on the rear bumper that already had a hole:

    IMG_0799.jpg

    This is the spare tire, once set back up under, you can't actually see the hose connected to the spare tires valve stem because, as mentioned previously, the spare tire is lifted/set back up inverted.

    Last to add, the external hose spare tire kit is very easy to install, don't even have to remove the spare tire, just maybe lower it a bit (that is if your not going to invert it but if you are then your going to have to lower it to flip it) then connect the external hose to the spare tires valve air stem, set/lift the spare tire back up, run the hose through or around an area where it won't hang then make the rear bumper connection (to whatever part of the rear bumper you decide) once done your all set. Just make sure "every connection" is real tight.
