Default A Must-Have Mod? Valve Stem Extension for Spare Tire!
Last time I was (intentionally ) underneath my Raptor a thought occurred to me: Why haven't I bought a valve stem extension for my Raptor's spare tire so I can easily check the pressure in the spare?

Has anyone done this yet?

Here's one I found:

Valve stem extension - A must for hard-to-reach spare tires!

Works as an extension to your spare's valve stem making it more accessible.

One end of the extension hose screws on to the valve on the tire. Place the other end in a convenient location - Use your tire gauge on this end to check pressure and inflate the tire when needed. Once installed it is always ready to use. Approx. 40" long.

And it's only 6 BUCKS!

Valve Stem Extension to check pressure in the spare tire

Let us know if you've found a better solution.

Does the spare not have TPMS?

Never. Even until the day I die, this forum will NEVER see a picture of my spare tire.

Maybe not from you but I'm sure someone will snap it at some point just because

That is a great idea, Ive gone under there to check the pressure and realized you cant get to it without dropping the tire. PITA.
