285 spare tire on gen 1 sequoia?

[efjayatee]

Just like the question says-

If you dont have a swing out rear bumper, there's only a couple of options. Either carry it inside or on top of the roof. How are you guys carrying it when out exploring/overlanding?
Does 285 fit in the spare location?
Thx in advance.

Deflate to 15psi & it fits there.

Takes a little push, but the diameter fits snug & tight.

I have a 31" tire down under. Fits fine, but I run skinny tires.

I have a 285/70/17 ridge grappler under there.

Did you have to air down?
Will KO2 AT fit i wonder?

I didn't air down. It's about a 1/4 inch from the rear pan hard bar, sits at a slight angle.

I've managed to stuff a deflated 295/75r16 under there, but it rubs the panhard bar a bit. Rubs just enough to make it sound like an 80's Cadillac with bad shocks/springs. Is there a spare tire carrier mod for the 1st gen Sequoia?

I’m a bit leery of the hitch mounted carrier options. I was following a tacoma with one off Gemini bridges. He hit a bump a bit wrong and his failed catastrophically, swinging his tire through the rear tailgate. It wasn’t pretty.

Must be a crappy Amazon tire carrier. All US made carriers like the Wilco, Rigd, Rigid Armor are all trail tested. I use mine on Corral Hollow, big bear, death Valley-Saline, Lippincott Pass, Mengal pass and various Mojave trails with my Sequioa and my carrier without issue. Those 3 mfg listed post their product doing trails on youtube.
I have rear lockers by the way😉
