Hey man! Love your content and I really appreciate this one particularly! One nitpick (about tire changing in general, not just the Taco). Make sure the parking brake is engaged for safety reasons. Itll prevent the tires from spinning when lifted off the ground. And when loosening/tightening the lugs, go in a star pattern to ensure the tire is evenly tightened. Great video tho! Keep doing what you're doing!

Suggest you block the diagonally opposite tire to prevent any slip when you jack up the vehicle. I also like to temporarily place the tire taken off under the vehicle beside the jack, so if the jack fails, the rotor will not slam into the pavement. Tire is usually covered with brake pad dust and road grime, so a pair of plastic or leather gloves is a good idea too.

The is for the video! Came here to learn how to drop the spare and got what I needed! Just a few tips, when loosening the lugs, place the bar horizontally (pointing left from the lug) and push DOWN. This will save you tons of strain. Second, make sure to tighten lugs in a “star” patter (you can look that one up). Lastly, when operating the jack, have wrench bending away form the truck, place one hang on the rod portion and another on the socket for a much easier cranking motion. Gloves help quite a bit to let the bar slip through your hands. Have a good one!

Someone else just commented on this video recently and I realized when I put this out, that it would kind of be a slow burn. Because how often are people going to get nails in their Tacoma tires? But since there wasn’t really many videos on it I decided to put it out anyway. And when I read the comment the other day he mentioned that the video had 33,000 views which is like crazy I never ever imagined this video would do that well! I hope all 33,000 the other people didn’t have any holes in their tires too! But I’m so thankful I included the message of Christ that was on my heart in this video because it went so far reaching. Thank you for commenting Carson, i was really mad at God that morning for my tire blowing because I was like “GREAT ANOTHER THING I GOTTA DEAL WITH!” But I never had any idea how far this would go.

I will, that is something I've struggled with for years. But what I've implemented to get myself out of my comfort zone is asking people for prayer requests like at the end of the video! In-person, for example, I said to the woman that rung up the transaction for getting my tire fixed: "I like to ask people for prayer requests. Do you have any?" It catches people off guard but almost always they say "actually yeah..insert request" It shares our faith even a little and it's helped me get out of my comfort zone to talk about my faith on a broader term. Remember if people don't like what you're saying it probably means you're standing up for God and that's a good thing. The biggest thing I've feared in the past is what others will think of me, but if I'm that disciple for Christ I shouldn't fear them because who cares if Greg from accounting doesn't like me because I stand up for God? That planted a seed in Greg's mind. I'd rather people not like me than to go my whole life and people didn't know I was a christian. Here's a good verse! John 14:27

During WWII, when 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese Americans on tjhe west coast numbered 127,000 and were being put in concentration camps….the Japanese in Hawai’i wouldn’t share that fate. Why? Because we had over 150,000 Japanese Americans in Hawai’i alone! Lol. Yeah, 37% of Hawai’i was Japanese at the time. Japanese influence was so strong here that even till today, if you walk into a 7-11 here, we have very few things in common with mainland 7-11s…however, when I went to Japan a few years ago, I couldn’t believe how similar they were to the 7-11s In Hawai’i. Even back in the early and mid-1980s, our TV channels had a lot anime from Japan that my mainland friends never heard of. Funny thing is, though, that local Japanese don’t speak any Japanese…my parents and grandparents didn’t speak any, and I only do ‘cause I studied it at university, 😜 Anyway,,you should come on holiday one winter….december days are still in the low 80's, and the ocean water never gets really cold.
