Thank you!!!! Single mom with toddler in tow, caught a screw in back tire... this video was super easy to follow & helped get us home safely with just the factory tools
Thanks! You saved my day! Brand new to me truck and not exactly the same as my 94 4runner thank you for giving me the confidence to get myself back on the road stress free :)
Thank you. The manual’a explanation of cranking the tire down really blows, and this was extremely helpful & timesaving earlier today on the side of 378 outside of Sumter with cars going by at 80mph while sweating out tequila getting attacked by ants. Much obliged.
@@roadsideguy5902 Your video helped me too, see my comment above. It would've never occurred to me to read a manual for stuff like this. Heck, first I would have to find the manual...
Helped me my first tire change on my Toyota runner; i did not know even how to pull down the spare tire and where the tools are located until I saw the video! Thanks for great explanation!
You should do another video showing how to do this ONLY with the supplies that come with the 4runner in the middle of the night on your way out of some random forest after you hit a dead animal on the road. with a gf behind you freaking out and asking you to call Triple A.
@@roadsideguy5902 You are supposed to be instructing. What if someone wanted to know about using the standard jack when changing their tire? It IS supposed to be an instructional video. But you prefer to call your viewers 'stupid'. OOOOOOkaaay then.
@@randallhughes3062 well if they say stupid shit I will call them stupid. If they are stupid they leave stupid comments I will also call them out on being an idiot. Don't like it start your own channel and go there.
@Roadside Guy why not bring the chain back all the way up? Just leave it dangling 10 inches like that? What if I want to then put another spare there now or put the spare back on once I replaced the flat, how do it do that? Thank you
Lay wheel under car and put the clasp at the end of the chain through the wheel hub hole and then crank it up. Thanks If that doesn't make sense let me know. I will try to explain in greater detail.
@@TheCEOXPerience Because without the weight of the tire holding tension on the chain it can become tangled up. If you bring it all the way up and do not let it dangle you run a risk of the chain not coming back down ever again.
Without the lowering tools you are screwed. There is no other tool that will work. You must borrow from the same vehicle if possible or order a universal kit online.
I don't carry a hydraulic floor jack. Why not show with factory jack? Where it's stored. Where to place it. How it works. And factory lug wrench? Where is it stored? (But you got to brag about your Snap on tool) And....bad camera work on 80%. I got seasick. And didn't usually point at the proper spot. Or was dark. : - /
When I 1st started doing roadside about 15 years ago I came from my family owning an auto shop and I had a huge ego and thought I knew everything about cars everything about cars until I came against stuff like this and I quickly realized how little I knew. Thanks for watching.
@@roadsideguy5902 thanks for making it. I was on a slope so just had roadside assistance come and change it safely, but they didn't know how to do the spare. Your video allowed me to show them the right angle lol.
Call CAA to change my flat, why not I have the service, they could not do it b/c they could not find the joint to drop the tire. OMG, I watched this video and had to do it myself... thanks pal, useless CAA service - isn't that their specialty, flat tires and battery boosts hahah..
Most of those idiots have to watch me to learn. That is, if they are smart enough to want to learn, which most aren't. Thanks for watching. I'm glad I could help.
Yeah I'm not a professional camera man as I'm sure you guessed. Plus I'm in the middle of changing a tire in a hurry while filming. If you can do better let's see it. And if you care that much follow me and hold the camera.
