The Tesla of 3D printers. Cool, shiny and high tech but nonparts and no service.

You've GOT to be kidding!! Going through all this trouble when they could just sell you a freakin spare tire, at least as an option?? This is outrageous!

Is it possible to do that first the honda crv hybrid??

I’m getting ready to purchase the 2025 Corolla Cross hybrid, and will need to purchase a spare tire and your kit. What size wheel will I need to get so the bolt pattern lines up on the wheel hub?

Great work! Where do you store the jack?

I get nervous when he unplugs the flux capacitor. I'm glad I looked in my trunk space... no one at the dealership said there was no spare.

...and hope you'd never need to use the spare tire

Solution: unscrew and screw thigh the two screws inside the AMS! Many Reddit users replied that it solved the problem.

Same issue here second ams last 2 slots grinding like crazy a reboot fixed it... Cyber attack?

Sounds like we're having front landing gear not extending, retract all wheels we're going in for a belly landing. Advise crew members passengers to strap down.

I have the exact same issue, first ams sounds lovely, second sounds like it's grinding gears

Can't tell by that, but when I got mine one of the rollers where the filament sits at the front needed clicking down as one of the sides had come out during transport. Hope this gives you something to look at. good luck!

Can you estimate what the size of the largest printed part in the assembly is? Thinking i can use this as justification to convince my wife that I need a 3d printer, but I end up getting one with too small of a work area, we're both going to be mad. 😂

I know it's a spare, but for my ignorant new owner brain..is that a donut or regular size tire? It looks like a donut. The weight would impact the mpg, right? Significantly? Great video, I think I can do this (with supervision 😂). Thank you.

This is an awesome design.

Another guy installed this kit and didn't seem to need a floor shim, but the video (q3KR0V3p75Q) was low on details. Is yours a thicker spare or he might he have not bothered to make sure the cargo floor was supported evenly? Also, what about heat-dissipation above the battery? That foam block seems to have a hollow base, hard to tell without seeing it in person.

Why didn’t Toyota route that plug around the edge of the trunk. They stuck it right in the center, to claim the excuse “ we can’t, there’s no room”. Excuse

Sorry. I was excited till I saw the $400 price tag. It's a 3d printed parts with a couple of bolts. And it's a lead time of 3 months! That's insane. I'd like a spare but I'm not adding one at nearly $600-$700 by the time the tire is in there. If I blow a tire I have it on my insurance. You'd sell 5 times more of these if you cut the price in half.

I will not buy a car without a spare tire. Period. I don't care about statistics. I carry gloves and tools too. Never use them.

Brilliant! I have a corolla cross hybrid coming in a couple of weeks and wasn't thrilled about not having a spare.

Is there a similar kit available for the Gen 4 Prius AWD (2016-2022)?

Neat video. This stuff is fascinating. Try adding some hashtags to the description of video. Might help people find your page!!

Very good demonstration. The lack of a spare has been holding me back from buying a Corolla Cross. Where do you purchase all the spare tire set-up parts and are they expensive? Thank you.

Looks like you did a good job on this design. The lack of a spare was holding me back from buying a CC hybrid. But now I may go for it. Either that or buy the Rav4 hybrid and get a little less mileage in the city.

Need someone to do this with the Corolla hybrid AWD 🥹

I am thinking of buying a spare tire, but with this solution there is so much space lost without a reason (below the tire, in the middle of the tire, on the sides). I would consider covering the tire with a cloth and using the full cargo space without the cargo liner, possibly also removing the plastics placed on the sides.

An excellent video - thank you.

I’ve had two flats in my 2024 cross. Each time was towed to dealership, and both times they didn’t have the tire in stock. Since I have road service and tire warranty, it was all free. But the inconvenience was annoying and scary. (Side of road at night for over an hour) This video convinced me to buy the spare, jack, and this cool insert. Thanks!!

Definitely want a spare. Why would you not want one. Just bought a 2024 cx5. Thank god it came with a spare. I got a flat in the middle of no where. And we couldnt use that stupid liquid crap that they give you in some cars. My tire did not have a nail but the side wall got punchered.

Where do you get the sapcer that goes on top of the spare tire after it is installed?

Bought a 4Runner because it had a real spare

Just outstanding 👌👌👌👌👌

I hope Toyota is watching this, and they start putting spares back in their vehicles.

Nice, I was thinking the same thing and knew someone has already figured it out 🎉🎉🎉😊

Are you sure plastic will hold up under constant vibration stress with the momentum of the tire pressing against it?

Thank you

Great work. Well done.

I currently have a FULL SIZE spare wheel-tire : 215/65R17. Measuring the fit -- it appears that this FULL size spare depth will rise above the floor several inches (about 5" or 6-inches}, depending upon the depth-fit of the MOUNT-block. Still, this retrofit Mount Upgrade would be better than just strapping the full-sized spare to the floor -- since that currently rises a full 10-inches above the floor, and makes the cargo bay mostly unusable. ?? Anyone attempted to mate this retrofit Tire Mount Upgrade with a full-size spare wheel-tire ?? [I travel in rural Saskatchewan often far from assistance : a spare tire is a necessary safety feature.] .

Anson, I just found you on Reddit. I've been shopping the Corolla Cross Hybrid, but hate that it doesn't include a spare. Thanks for doing this! It's very impressive work. If I buy the car I will definitely get your kit! (And FUCK Toyota marketing and engineers for failing to do this themselves!)

Very cool! Not in a hurry yet since I still have the 2 year Toyota care road side assistance, but will definitely get it pass that. Thank you for the solution

does this void any Toyota warranties? Otherwise, this seems like a great solution

have you tried beating it on scourge?

how about a side mounted spare just like the old Land Cruisers ?

Very professional video and great job on the the spare tire solution. Do you have a solution for the 2024 Prius limited for the spare tire ?

Great video, Anson!

nice man

Do you have any more blog posts about this? I saw the video of a phone controlling locks on your Escape and I'm intrigued...

Can you change the track names and stuff on the screen with the arduino library?

Hi Anson Liu May I use this on my channel, full credited of course? Where did this happen ? Thanks

Hello there, can we use your video in our new Compilation? it will be credited of course
