Oh yeah, I have allstate too, but I'd rather just put on a spare myself than wait for their slow @$$es.

Thanks, its mine

Here is another shot, sadly I dont have a pic of the completed setup



I am thinking about removing the foam crap and making something for a simple socket set and wrenches...

I currently have a tool box.. but sometimes substitute it for a backpack o' tools....

Light weight spare, lose the C.D. changer, a piece of 2X6 to put under the scissor jack.

Is there any point to that foam being there? Is it just for insulation?

I always used the tray thing that sat inside the spare to hold my tools. I would wrap them in a headlight bag from work so they didn't slide around or rattle....It worked great even under harsh driving conditions.

I think I'm missing the tool bag that comes with the car. I have the scissor jack, tire iron, and spare, but I don't see a bah, and the owner's manual and the forums mention a tool bag. What does this tool bag consist of?
