QUICK!! How to remove spare tire??
#21
Uhh, I meant "hammer" as in unscrew it by tapping it with a screwdriver/hammer. Thats what had to be done with some older cars to get the spare unscrewed. They had a plate that swiveled off.
Oh nevermind, laugh it up. yuk yuk
Anyone know what that compartment is on the right side of the hatch then? Or where I can download a PDF manual?
Thanks! I got my cigs and am calm and thinking rationally again.

One is for storing jack and spare tools (of which you arrarently are missing), and I believe the other is to access the rear window washer fluid and a bit of storage space. I used to keep a recovery strap in there in my '89. Or was it my '95? Hmmm... ANyway, if you ever get the bottle jack. it should fit snuggly in the compartment by turning the extension ring thingy with your hand to expand the jack.

Im glad you got the tire off. The other way to remove it is that my friend did. He fliped his truck over on its roof speed in a turn. In his own sick sense of humor, he said it was now easier to change his oil and take off his spare cause he could just reach down and do it.

Best way I have found to get spare off is to open back lid, pull back carpeting and get the torch and cut out the section holding tire on. Then a hinge on the cut out section and throw the spare in the back seat. Now you have access to the spare and escape hatch when you roll it off in a creek or river and the spare doubles as a life raft

Hey guys, so I'm retarded and broke my spare jack (overextended it and it got unthreaded). I need to get a new one and was wondering where the cheapest place to pick one up is.
Thanks,
Austin

on what 99 or any other 3rd gen runner have YOU ever put a jack in the rear compartment and filled your washer fluid in the "other rear compartment"???
1. there is only ONE rear compartment in a 3rd gen.
2. the ONE rear compartment that's found in ALL 3rd gens is for a roadside emergency kit that consists of road flares and a small first aid kit. however, NOT ONE 3rd gen that i've ever seen have actually had the roadside kit in the compartment or anywhere else for that matter.
3. the rear washer fluid is pulled from the same resovior as the front. there is no rear resovior for a 3rd gen.
4. the jack for a 3rd gen is just like he found it - under the rear passenger side seat bottom and NOT in the rear compartment.

I never had a 3rd gen, which I inferred by the model years included in my post. I stand corrected, er, uhh, educated.

She then said "Don't you just put the long jack handle in the back and crank it down? Who wouldn't know that?"
She changes her own oil and stuff though. She's pretty cool. I might just keep her...

WOW, thank you for Yotatech and this thread. Now, I can take that spare tire out of my garage and put it where it belong. When I bought my runner 3 weeks ago, it didn't come with a manual and the spare was in the rear cargo. I would have never thought of looking under the seat and probably end up ordering new jack kit. Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you...

cheapest place to get a jack
The dirt cheapest place to pick up a jack would be from the back of somebody else's truck!
If he did'nt discharge the flux capacitor the framinjimulator would overload...
hahahahahahaha Personally I don't worry 'bout the thing mine is seized if I need the spare I have to use cutters or a torch
Cheers aviator
