Is your spare tire upside down? Mod makes it super easy to check air pressure!

Going to get one of those.

Koolbob - once again, you have pointed out a thing I SHOULD know/do with my Ridgeline that never crossed my mind... and you provided a useful, concise solution! Thx again!

[@Koolbob2]

Thanks man! Good to know you found it helpful!

[@mmInPA]

@@Koolbob2 Just finished install.. easy peasy... I propped up the tire a bit under the extension hose so that connector/hose arent resting on tub... btw, tire was at 25 PSI instead of recommended 60 PSI... glad you posted this! Also, have you flushed the brake fluid yet? If so, any suggestions/hints/tricks?

[@Koolbob2]

@@mmInPA I just checked my spare and it's still holding steady at 60psi. Glad to hear you found the video to be helpful and you are happy with the results. I had the brake fluid flushed on both of our Hondas about a year ago, I considered doing it myself, but my local mechanic was really inexpensive.

Thanks, that’s a great idea! I have been driving Ridgelines since 2005 and checking the spare tire has always been a dreaded chore.

[@vanessamaloney4056]

Hey Bob, Can you tell us everything that you are storing in the spare tire foam tray? You have all your cut outs filled with tools and parts that I don’t have?

[@Koolbob2]

Sure thing! Starting in the front and working back; fuel funnel, tow hitch (stored upside down), lug wrench/jack handle, 7-pin to 4/5-pin trailer light adapter (right), small blinking red LED light (left), Locking hitch pin (above the LED light) and jack crank arm.

Hey Koolbob why the package with 2 hoses? I like your ideas and videos. Very good job on the Ridgelines.

[@Koolbob2]

@mlackey47 Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! I bought the package with two hoses for a couple of reasons: 1) I couldn't find a single package that was cheaper on amazon. 2) I wasn't 100% sure a single 8" hose would be long enough, so I could have used both hoses end to end if necessary. For some reason the spare tire on my Ridgeline has always lost more air than the other four tires combined. I have discovered the pressure to be as low as 25psi on the spare when it should be 60psi. At least it's easy now to top it off each month.

[@mlackey47]

Good idea. I think I will use the second hose on my old 2001 Tundra too. I have the spare tire mounted in the bed but had to turn the stem towards the bed wall. Should work great. Thanks again, you have help save a lot of us a bunch of hard earned bucks.

Here’s another idea using the factory jack and factory spare, rotating the tires. No extra cost!

[@Koolbob2]

@@mlackey47 I've used the factory jack to rotate tires on my cars, but prefer to use my floor jack and jack stands. At least when I rotate the tires my rims don't get scratched up and my lug nuts are all torqued properly.
