Our Prado spends most of its life being the daily driver for my girlfriend (I am guessing that many people are in this boat). Now while she has the knowledge and will to change a tyre if she needs to, she is slight of build (and kinda on the short side) and unable to lift the wheel. So I am concerned that if she gets a flat she will be stuck.
She can probably undo the nuts holding the spare on, but she wouldn't be able to control the wheel while getting if off the back of the car and might hurt herself while trying to do so. And once the wheel is changed (we have a 5t bottle jack and cheater bar which she uses admirably) there is no way that she can get the tyre back on to the rear door, and with the rear shelf in I dont think that she could get the wheel in the back without hurting herself, the fridge or the car.
Does anyone have any hints, tips, gadgets or gizmo's that overcomes this problem. I can't be the only person in this situation.
Cheers,
Will
