It is important to know how to do this when on safari or mudding. Be able to fix a flat tire your self. Some people may like the brand slime. Getting a flat tire is not most peoples idea of fun they don’t want to break down, generally they want to keep driving I would also recommend carrying a tire repair kit with you and maybe I can or two of fix a flat

The rim has to be facing up, that way the front won’t be damaged and it will go up straight. That’s what the manual indicates. Thank you for the video

[@XillOverdrive]

that definitely makes a lot of sense. Lower CG would have ensured the tire goes straight up.

I have 2000 landcruiser that doesn't have the locking key. Just insert the hook end onto the cranking wand and insert into the cone. It does not actually hook on to anything. The head of the hook slots into the cone. If that doesn't work then you need to use the star key that came with the jack tool kit.

"This tool right here, if you do not have one... you should make sure you have this tool." lol

I bought a used 2000 Lexus LX 470 a couple years ago never had a flat. Last week on a trip I had a flat and unfortunately I didn't have that peice.

Great Vid! But I'd recommend to hook up the spare wheel with the other side, the outer side upwards. This way it's a bit easier to fiddel the hook through the rim. At least this is my experience with my 2001 HDJ 100 (the Diesel-version of the UZJ or LX 470). Rgds from Germany

Should wheel be facing opposite side when in place (with good side upper facing)

[@EdwinC1001]

This video did the trick. Thanks brother.

[@KendallTodd]

I’m glad you liked it

[@walterrichards9825]

Thanks for the post helpful and how about that from one Floridian to another - glad my lexus wheel came right on down - the 2002 Tacoma not so much

[@KraziAzn2]

Does it matter if the valve stem is facing up towards the car? Thats the way I installed it

[@Asian_Connection]

great video. can you show how to remove the stupid spare wheel lock?

[@skhochay]

you did it - Popeye ..

[@tonypadon1008]

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Very helpful. I would not have figured that out with out going to the owners manual which I hate to do!

[@dalonewolf89]

Is there a workaround if you don’t have the spare tire key?

[@qualsingh9974]

No update on this in 2022?

[@Sth-qd2xn]

call toyota and lexus dealers and ask if they have master key sets, if they have one they can get the lock out

[@Gastime]

Use hook

[@3men2sify]

I have a 97 land cruiser and I don't have that piece that connects to the shaft that turns the spare wheel down. Got a used tool bag for this car for $70.00 and that piece is missing.

I don't have this spare-tire-anti-theft key. Where can I get a spare key?

[@hamoodi4072]

@@MrXerxes is each key specific to each specific vehicle

[@rasimbeganovic38]

Great,,but I will recommend to keep the spare tire on your back seat or under the pillow.
