Can I put a second spare underneath? 1986 Mini-Cruiser


Recommended Posts

I've had blowouts on the front tire and blowouts on a rear tire.  I only carry a spare for the front tire, so If I have a blowout on the rear I have to limp the RV to a tire shop and have them swap the rims. It's usually a three hour ordeal.  I believe 1986 Toyota trucks carried the spare under the truck with some kind of chain and pulley.  Is that still there?  If not, what do I need to do?

If yours is missing, then go to a wrecking yard and get one from a Toyota PU, don't forget the crank.

This is what it looks like...https://www.ebay.com/itm/303800308069?hash=item46bbe8d165:g:oV4AAOSwa9NfztyR

If the OEM didn't bugger things up, it is a simple bolt on.  Remember a security chain

Why not just carry a unmounted spare tire of the correct size. A lot less weight and no 6 lug spare wheel to deal with.

Your more likely to puncture a tire than to blow it out.
