behind the front seats.
To access the tools, do the following:

the cover.2. Turn the wing nut on the cover
counterclockwise to remove it.
For crew cab models, reach under the rear
seat to access the jack and wheel blocks. To
reinstall the jack and wheel block assembly
in the mounting bracket, insert the tabs into the
jack base by pushing the blocks up into the
assembly. The outer hole in the jack base
aligns with the tab on the bracket. When
reinstalling, make sure the jack is secure, but
do not overtighten the jack in the bracket.
3. Remove the wheel blocks and the wheel
block retainer by turning the wing nut
counterclockwise.

the tire farthest away from the one being
changed. That would be the tire on the other
side, at the opposite end of the vehicle.

bag and tools which is under the front
passenger’s seat. Remove it by turning the
wing nut counterclockwise.
