Thanks for taking the time to do this video. You’re right, weird location. But it’s all out of the way and if you really need it, the extra few seconds isn’t a big deal. And a little tip, turn the handle around and you can use it like a speed wrench.
I’m sitting in the Texas sun where it’s 102 degrees and I’m dying
I’m can relate😅
I did it to fix a flat. A little clumsy, but works just fine.
Great video and helpful, thanks for posting.
Thanks! Thanks for watching 👍
Hey Rob... any truck I've had over the last set few years... I've always taken the tire out from underneath the truck and stored it in the bed... easier to get at, and you don't have to go through that process when it's raining or snowing out. Also over the years that lowering mechanism will rust and seize and you won't be able to lower the tire when you need it....keep the great vids coming!!
Hey Shayne. Not a bad idea. I think it’ll take my first flat and that will do it!! Having the mechanism seize when you need it would be a real drag!!!!!!👍
thank you sir, i would never have guessed THAT end was what was supposed to click in.
Glad to help and thanks for watching 👍
Will someone send Rob some black tennis shoes? At least he doesn't have white socks too.🤣 Paw paw lol
Size 10.5 please!!! :)
Thanks Throbb me fixing to head on my trip this is good info to know buddy. 👍
You’re welcome! It’s a pain though. The whole process is quite a workout!!!!!!!!
Good video on tire change. Tundra and Tacoma are the same but rods do not interchange. It takes practice to hook on both trucks. I lower both of mine every 3 months for tire pressure check.
That’s a good practice. Would be a real drag if you needed it and it was flat!!
"Always know what you're aiming for when your trying to stick your tool somewhere"- ThrobbNation 2018
Lol!!!!!! Too funny!!!!!!👍
Robb give that guy a sticker, no way you were gonna get past that comment my friend.👍
Lol!!! I love it!!!! Never would have caught it myself!!!!!!!👍. If he sends me his addy...I’ll send him a sticker👍
LOL! I think bad aim was a problem for all of us at one time or another LOL. I'd definitely rock a sticker on the back of my car. Robb, Ill send you a private message. Thanks!
You are funny Robb, if you were on our end watching a very exciting video on how to lower a spare tire on a pickup truck, then that statement pops out, you’d surely have caught it , lol...
Good video for those that never have done it though, ( I mean change flat tire ) 👍
i had a tire punctured just 2 months owning the Rebel. good thing i have always those $2 tire patch @ walmart. they work really welll and a tire inflator. well if sidewall was the issue, that's a different story.. that's the time i need to pull the spare tire
Yup! Those patches are handy! Much better that messing with the spare!!👍
Great video. I was searching for a video so I have an idea of how to lower it.
Donn't want to have to figure it out on the side of the road.
Thanks. That’s exactly why I did it. I wanted to know how myself 👍
Same here. Just bought a tundra so i need to watch this before i get a flat
I have an 02 Tundra and just found out the hard way that my spare had been stolen. To say I was pissed on the side of the road is putting it mildly. Now I need a new spare and a lock.
Wow!! That sucks!!! Especially when You needed it!!
Wow seems someone wanted it more than you did.
Rotate tire iron 180 degrees. Then turn it like a crank. Much easier.
Good video! Always handy to know how to get to your spare tire.
Especially if you really ever need it😬
Thanks
Thank you sir ! Very informative .
Thanks Mark. Thanks for watching 😁
One of the most useful video's I've seen in a long time, certainly as it pertains to pick up trucks. Never owned one, am currently considering the purchasing of one (bucket list item.) Always wondered what kind of a pain this lowering the spare would be. Great video Robb, thanks.
Thanks Robert. It’s one of those things people don’t consider until something happens. It was a first run for me on the Tundra as well👍
Thank great video 🤗
Thanks Adolfo👍
Here is my guide. I dont know how you're supposed to know it work.
I wish there was a way to raise and lower the spare tire electrically. I wonder if a 12v drill would make short work of the job ?
I guess I could check for myself, huh ? I'm too lazy.
I must be the only one to find this after breaking off the tip of my tool... i had it in the right spot but it just wasn’t getting loose... thought inwas spinning it but i was just twisting the tool until it broke... truck is a 2020 and in texas so no snow
I'd hate to have to tow a trailer and not have a ball for my hitch
I see they did upgrades to that tire lowerer. I had to change my tire on my 07 tacoma on the tollway. Thank God I check the air at times on it and fill it up, by crawling under the truck. There is a tpms on that tire as well. Those stupid rods kept falling apart. They had little side locking screws that didn't work so well. Yours looks like it snaps together. It also took me several minutes to figure out how to get the tire off and out from underneath the truck when it got lowered. Then I put the jack in the wrong spot. I found I had to put it under the axle and spin it with those rods that kept coming apart.
It’s a horribly weak setup IMO! Those rods are very thin! Getting the end in the right place would be a real blast in the rain or snow!!!!!!
great video, thanks for sharing
Thank for watching Brian👍
looking forward to the jack video
It’s up now. That jack is amazingly small and I worried if it would be sturdy enough for the job!!
My Tundra is a 2007 and the square end of the rod assembly goes into the lifting mechanism, not the hook end,
Hmm….Interesting 🤔
I just read your comment Paul. I tried the hook end for a couple of hours today and finally gave up till I got on the internet after supper and watched a lady mechanic find the right spot with a flashlight and lo and behold my connection was square too. Thanks lady.
Seems like every pick up has the same style of spare tire set up. maybe one the designers will recognize this and come up with some kind of spare tire lowering system. would be a good edge over other trucks! my tacoma and rebel i believe have the same style aim the tool deal.
Yup..I believe you are right. Seems kind of archaic!!!!!😁
While you had the spare tire down you should have sprayed WD-40 or some sort of grease on the chain and lift assembly. Ohio like New Hampshire gets lots of snow and road salt
You’re right!! Didn’t think of that!! In a few weeks I’ll have a lift to put it up on. Have to hit it then👍
You also have your handle on backwards be more convenient with the handle protruding out to grab. I wish you would get underneath there see what it looks like
Hmmm....I didn’t realize 😬
And you did following my words you went right into the vehicle at the camera good job very helpful, I just got a 2002 Tacoma I haven't got the tire bar mine seems to have a female socket in there that would almost fit like a square like the end of a half inch extension but that doesn't quite fitting properly lucky I don't need the tire yet encouraging it's good to test your things before you actually need them
Absolutely! Always good to know how things operate before you actually need them👍
Took me 30 minutes. As Beyonce says , "to the left to the left". Line up the rods on the left side of the opening.
My wife's tire on jeep was totally dry rotted it had never been down in 10 years. Chevy Silverado has a lock to remove first so tire doesn't get stolen
That’s another good reason to check on it! That would be horrible to find out when you really need it😁
Oh man…I haven’t lowered my spare once in the 11 years since I bought my Tundra new in 2012. I bet it’s going to be rusted in place and 0 psi
Oh I bet so😬
I put a cable lock on my spare tire. So it may help from someone trying to steal the tire.
That’s a good idea. Along with tailgates, I’ve heard of people stealing spare tires. A lock should do the truck👍
why not flip tire over so you can check tire pressure without lowering it from the bed??
Doesn’t fit that way😡
@@RobMotive mine does (2020)
I can't find part 2 that shows if the emergency Jack works. What's the emergency Jack sufficient to raise the truck?
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/baD3gs3Bl7Y/видео.html
@@RobMotive thanks!
Can’t you flip the wheel so that the air vent is accessible without lowering the wheel?
Anything can be done, but it’s not the ideal setup.
@@RobMotive why not?
Too much to try to explain here.
@@RobMotive 😂 That disappoints me
This is defiantly good practice,u never kno when you'll have to do this for real ,ty sir
Yup! That’s what I was thinking. At least once if you’ve never done it before for Sure!
Wrong on a 2020 Tundra Limited , I only wish mine was that easy !!!!!!!!
Wrong how?
Car makers should have a door open from the truck bed that lifts up to make tire access easier. I have NO idea why some innovative automobile manufacturer hasn't ALREADY figured this out. Guess its not a concern for the purchase of a new car. Who thinks about flat tires when looking at a Brand New set of wheels in an auto show room. You will when you have a flat.
It would be nice👍. Seems they design these for the best conditions. Of course, a flat will never occur when it’s a nice day on a road with a smooth, level shoulder!
@@RobMotive I think a door cut out exist in the bed of the truck.
Not sure what you mean🤔
Oh please, it's not that hard. A door in the bed? That would add a hundred or two to the cost of the truck. Of course, the manufacturer is not going to do that for so few who would want it or use it. Were TRUCK owners, not limo drivers.
I'd pay a few bucks admission to see someone with a flat tire and a load in the bed; mulch, gravel, block, manure, etc... and need to get to the door to pull out a spare. That would be hilarious....
Robb handle out
Handle out?
He means the tire iron dog leg should be pointed out so it forms a crank of sorts.
Ahh!! Makes sense👍
I was thinking the same thing 😁😎
There appears to be a plug in the spot where my hook goes. I can get the hook into it but it just spins and prevents the hook from going into the slot. Does anybody have any ideas? Never mind, I have found the solution. There is a lock on the lowering screw for my spare. Now I just need to find the key...
Assuming it’s not broken, you must not be putting it in correctly 🤔
@@RobMotive I have discovered it has a lock on it. Appears to be this model PT276-34071 Spare Tire Lock for Select Tacoma and Tundra Models - I am working on finding the key now.
How do I get the flat tire off if there's no tools??
You don’t.
Well Rob, you got a lot of positive feedback but let me take a little air out of your tire. First, your Tundra is a lot newer than mine and should have that old fashioned owners manual. Look in the index (it's at the back of the book) and look for "Spare Tire." The index is in alphabetical order so it's pretty easy. It will probably take a minute tops to find where the tools are and how to assemble them. Secondly, since this seemed to be quite a chore for you, you might consider turning that spare tire over so the valve stem is facing DOWN; that's the direction toward the ground. That way you will never have to take the tire out to check the pressure or inflate it. Thirdly, cut out at least half the chatter and get to the job. There's not that much to this job and doesn't warrant nearly 12 minutes. Some RUclipsrs actually fast forward portions. I am 77 years old and don't have time to waste. Giddyup Rob, ; )
Lol!! Now how do you really feel😁
AAA changes tires. Yep, let an expert do it.
Good idea👍
Can you put a 275 55 r20 on that spare tire location
Not sure? Got to tire size.com and get its dimensions. Then you can check it out👍
Edit video. Dragging on n on
Thanks for watching 👍
I’ll have Toyota care take care of it for me. 🤣 then after that AAA can take over. 🤣😂🤣😂
My only problem with that option is time. I’m too impatient to wait😀
This the dumbest thing I've ever seen, right along with the remote start that starts the truck, then kills it when you open the door!
It’s a crazy thing😬
This is so primitive cant they just give us a button that it would lower it when u need it. This would be miserable on the side of highway when you oncoming traffic... One more button wont hurt them.
Have fun over riding that switch when it fails. A little elbow grease never killed anyone.
@@captainstabbin9338 No truck manufacturer seems to care much about it.
Shut up and just do it this video could have been 30 sec but I will say I watched it and it was helpful.
It’s ok bud...it’ll all be ok🥴
@@RobMotive don't mind this douchebag good video! Def helped me where is part 2?
Call AAA.
That would be easier. Of course it might be a 3-hour wait😐
Figure it out before you start the video! Yawn
…Whatever that means 👎
