my major headache is that the carrier thing for the spare is siezed on mine. I've tried all available fluids, so I pray not to get a flat...(that did it i'll get one on the way home now...). I think my next step will be to cut the cable and replace the assembly with a new one.
note to all to avoid this siezing problem you should exercise the thing at least twice a year. Lower it /lube it/raise it.
If the previous owner had done this I would'nt have this problem. Cheers Aviator

Good luck and thanks for reminding me to drop mine down again soon.

yeah I was helpin a friend change a flat on thier mini van and I noticed I had no jack, stupid me. I had gone as far as to even drop my spare and check the air to make sure it would come down if needed. I keep a lil floor jack in a plastic box in the back now. It lifts prob 20" off the ground maybe a lil less.

Mine was too short as well. Someone mentioned that they went to the dealer and they said they never heard of it, the dealer I went to said they knew about it on the vehicles with the bigger wheels like my LTD. I now keep 2 pieces of 2x4 plastic "post" material (Used for signs basically in place of wood) right under the rear passenger seat in the little nooks. Fits perfect and seat still closes.

the jack was found useless on my 2000 taco sr5 and even more so with 33 boggers so now i just keep my high lift tied up in the back and and use my sliders for jack points .
and for a back up a lowes 20 ton bottle jack ia also kept with me (great for helping with putting beads back on and straightning out metal using weight of the vehicle ! )

Anyone out west interested in making a few bucks?
If you can find me a non-rusted spare tire lift (all the parts - the gear box, shaft, pulley, etc) for my '93 4Runner, I'll be happy to comensate you for the time it takes at the junkyard...
