Finally a sense of reason. That is what this spare is and what it will do for you.Sweet, now I can fill out that wide body rear quarter
Thanks Mike an Tom for all your fact checking and such. I am happy to have one of these. All, I want is to get me back to my own garage home, and to avoid a tow if possible and this is the ticket.
I see three components in that photo. How much do you want for the FL2087 in the photo?For anyone who needs the pieces to hold down the spare tire, her are the part numbers.
I got you if you need it.
Lol, I'm offering some out for those in need. Its a tough call, people you never heard of reach out with a few posts under their belt.
If you are talking about the Steeda Jacking rails, there jack might as the top is flat and the pinch weld is below the flat top: as seen HERE starting @ :54. I for one have the original jack that came with my '16 Cali Special, which I clearly know would not work with rails and I only purchased the spacer and tire only since I didnt need their jack or kit.
thanks. I was looking at the BMR jacking rails. I assume it would work the same. Or I was gonna try and find a small portable jack that would work with the rails.
That’s what I was thinking I would needI bought a complete kit. The jack has 2 flat areas, at different levels, with a pinch weld slot in between. I would be really hesitant to use it on jacking rails without making up some type of
u-channel adapter to cradle the rail and a tab underneath to fit in the p-weld slot. (sort of
like a one leg football goal post).
Or you could just get a lift puck (Like the ones for the corvette and wedge that between the jack and the rails so its flush, or a nice 2 x 4 square piece of wood will do to in a pinch.
Jamie 1 question, there is 1 piece missing in the pictures and thats the crank, where is that in the well? I couldn't have mine sit flush with the crank in the way and had to slide it under the jack before I tightened it down.I finally found a minute to get the spare mounted in the spare tire hole. You can't rush into these things, lol.
I started by removing the felt from the stock cover, cutting a hole for the mount and putting it on the floor of the spare tire hole.
I used a 1" thick piece of foam to isolate the jack so as to not rattle around inside the spare.
I used the two tire hold down pieces that I posted previously to secure everything in place.
I used some more foam to tuck the wheel spacer and jack tool in between the jack and spare (not pictured). I filled the tire to the required 60 psi and everything fit snugly but perfectly and allowed a flush fit with the stock cover.
My Lloyd's mat was the finishing touch. Test drive resulted in zero rattling or noise.
I am very happy with how it all turned out, and I would recommend this kit to anyone who wants that peace of mind of having a spare on board.
That's what I referred to as the "jack tool", but I made a foam pocket inside the spokes of the wheel to house it. However, I will be forgoing the crank for a 1/2" ratchet and socket. I hate those crank tools because they only allow you to crank 1/2 pump at a time. Carrying two sockets lets me work the jack and the lug nuts. But to answer you question correctly, I put it Inside the wheel spokes. I will take a picture tomorrow and post up.
Thanks, because my brain cant fathom what your talking about. But I also kept my jack from my '16 Cali Special, so from what I know it hooks into the hole and you just spin to expand the jack, but I await your picture
