I need to ask you guys a favor: could anybody get a pic of how the oem spare tire rod and jack are stored? I got all the parts when I bought my truck, but have no idea how they're situated.

This is on an '89 4Runner.

 

From what I remember from my '86 the stuff went in one of rear cargo cubby by the wheel wells

 

I know that the stuff goes in the driver side rear cubbie behind the rear tire, but I don't know how things are supposed to be strapped down/put away back there.

 

My toyota tools are in a roll up. That's what came with my 87.

 

I know. I have the roll up of tools. I need a pic to show how it's put away in the back.

 

It all goes in the driver side rear cubby hole. The jack goes in the top part of the bracket with its metal lifter part facing upwards. The metal rod that you use to make the jack lift slides in, hook end first, just below the rear washer reservoir filler. You should see the little plastic "U" that it snaps into - slide it all the way forward, then tuck the back end into the cubby hole and slide it rearward an few inches.

 

I've tried to insert the image but no go. Here's a link:

 

Fixed.

Thanks guys!

 

Hmm , I totally don't have that mounting hardware in my runner.

 

That storage compartment is cleaner than any place on my entire truck!


Since my little rubber part in there busted and my plastic clips are also broken the jack went into a recovery bag I have, the long rod goes under the back seats and the rest of the stuff is in the canvas roll up bag under the drivers seat.
