    There probably is, Jimmy but I expect Toyota would charge ~ $250 for one. Oh and only be available in a pack of four for $1,000

    Good observation, that's why we improvise.

    Thanks, watching the video reminded me that I had to get the same caps I put on my 05. The gen II valve stems were worse with the wheel cover ring right next to them. I just ordered some of these that are 20mm long so they are much easier to remove and hold on to.

    This is a brilliant solution. Love it!

    Poor design from Toyota from a user's perspective, but great that we have members like Jimmy who come up with creative zero cost solutions!

    I had the cap fall in there somewhere. I drove home, removed the hub cap and it was in there.

    Jimmy good job, keep the videos coming. Lets see the bloopers.

    It must be kinda hard getting the stubbier styles of air chuck onto the valve, too.

    Thanks, and thanks for watching. It might be a couple of weeks for the bloopers to be ready.

    Yes even in this video you can see it is a little clumsy getting the air chuck on and off. Thanks for watching.
