Spare tire Tool Kit

[ozmanyyy]

Hi guys,

After having a nail repair pulled and plugged from my tire this week, I realized I had no idea how to get the spare down etc. So I checked out the manual and located where the jack and tool kit should be. The jack is there, but no tool kit. So I don't have the poles to raise and lower the jack or ( according to the manual ) raise and lower the spare tire. Not to mention, no lug wrench.

Can I get compatible parts from an auto parts store or do I need to go through Toyota ? If its Toyota, hopefully they'd stock them assuming they use similar kit for other trucks.

I'm taking a little road trip in a few days so I'd love to just be able to pick up some parts.

Thanks
Oz

I don't know if Toyota stocks them, but a quick call is the easiest.

If you want to look in a junk yard, I'll try to post a pic later today. I doubt auto parts stores have them, but with a pic, you could find out easier.

In the meantime, the business end that operates the jack and the spare carrier looks like a question mark???

Yeah, I think the only part I really need is the one for the spare lowering and jack. I already have a bunch of lug wrenches. I'll check out the dealer. I actually have spare bottle jacks too, so I just need to see what I need to lower the spare.

Thanks

Btw, the tools should be in the same compartment as the jack, correct ?

Yes, and check eBay for the tool bags. How did you get lug lock off? That should be in bag as well.

Well, one pretty important piece of kit is the key to lower the spare down from underneath the vehicle.

I don't know about Cruisers in the States, but here the key pattern varies from vehicle to vehicle.

You can purchase the parts off eBay or Toyota. I would recommend a torque wrench and breaker bar. It's much easier than the 12" thing Toyota gives you.

I actually have a spare set for the hundy that is completely new. I'll go look but I think it's a straight extension, a J hook (that engages the spare pulley mechanism, and a L wrench.

PM me with an offer if you're interested. I'll get a pic posted shortly.
