Lol! That is an extremely good idea!

 

Hey, it took me 2 weeks to figure out where the darn thing was. Wasn't about to read to find it lol

 

Thank you for the picture.....saved me a lot of cursing.
Muchly appreciated!!!

 

Things like this are why I go through the motions of retrieving the spare when I first get a vehicle.

Firstly you can see how it all goes toget her without the stress of a flat on the road.

Secondly you can see if any parts are missing to actually do the job.


It happened to my friend, we couldn't get the tire down because parts were missing!

 

Or keep an alum one from harbor frieght in your tool box in the bed, I cant stand those sizzor jacks

 

How does that help you get the spare tire lowered? You have to remove the factory jack from the box to get the three bars out that snap together then lower the spare. I've never used the factory jack, but I've had to put it back in the box once...

Does harbor freight have a one piece bar that fits into the spare tire hoist?

 

didnt say anything about the spare tire handle was just talking about the jack in general how I hate them... thought that was clear.. but sure lets split hairs for the hell if it

 

Wasn't tryin to split hairs.... I tried to fashion something up to lower the tire without using the stock poles and lug wrench to turn them... Then gave up and got the factory jack out - tossed it aside - and put the poles together. I was genuinely curious if you had gotten something at Harbor Freight - there's one three miles from my house and would be there tomorrow to buy it.

 

no lesson is best that having to use and then figure it out

i did the same thing, first use and it took me i bet 10 minutes to figure out how it went back in, then i saw a picture in the book
