For a few dollars you can purchase an automotive tire puncture repair kit. They are really easy to use, and you do not need to take the tire off the car. It will only work if the puncture is in the tread portion of the tire, not the side of the tire. You could also get a tire inflator that plugs into the 12V socket in the dashboard and inflate your tire as required. They also sell aerosol cans of flat-fix, that you just use like an inflator to both fill your tire and close up the puncture. I think the first method is better - I've repaired plenty of punctures using those kits and they are not expensive. On your Sienna the tire is actually stored underneath the middle of the car. You may actually have one there and not be aware of it! That tire dealer should have known that. Check the owner's manual for your car. If you don't have it you can get it online from Toyota.
I’m technologically challenged, I have the car, tomorrow I start the build, I wish I could make a video of it, Going to whitewash the cabinets since the sienna is white. What do you think? I will be done by end of sept. Hopefully sooner. Can’t wait for van life.
@@BeerinBeautifulPlacesjust looked like best option. Full size takes up a lotta room. I don’t know if they made a smaller temporary spare for that vehicle or not. I had a Sienna at one time and can’t remember.
I love the idea that you are visiting places that are suggested to you. And your explanation of your new camera equipment was very informative. And you faced all of your challenges of the day like a Champ!! No overthinking, just, Nothing to it But to Do It!!! Great video!!!
Tires are expensive, but you went to Taco Bell. 😂 Looks like you were due for a new set though. Nice moose spotting! You always overcome Ranger! Take care and rest well ✌️
a beautiful place. I do remember the flat tire from a while ago, I think before the AT. i have had my share of tire problems, they always seem to happen at the wrong times
Great video again of course ! I enjoyed the colors of the evergreens against the red and gold rocks and mountains ❤ Maddie 😍😍demonstrates the art of rolling with the punches. Baby cows, cowboys and a beautiful moose ? Wonderful! A punctured tire and a new tire riding shot gun? not so wonderful.. BUT I am absolutely sure that when u get back home and put a few heads together you will find a solution as to where that spare can go !
Another awesome video of an awesome place. You do such a fantastic job of hosting an adventure. I still need to go back and watch your AT hike from the start.
Good moo - - ing Maddie !What a wonderful day for a hike . Ranger sharing some technology skills and the ups and downs of travel. Awesome moose! 🫎 Thanks for sharing the outdoor adventure. ✌️♥️💪🇺🇸
I have never had a vehicle without a spare but I always have an air pump and a plugging kit, before I would drive a long distance on the doughnut wheel I would plug the tire. Maybe I'm just lucky but I have plugged tires for decades and the worst that ever happened was a very slow leak that I could fix at my convenience.
Got home with sienna I got yesterday, starting my build tomorrow. Similar to your design, I tell people your my inspiration… lol. Pretty sure I’ve seen all your videos.
Nice little hike with some gorgeous views and scenery, but the tire thing was a downer, especially as to the cost. There's a Latin expression for things like this and it's called 'a painus in the anus.' lol. Thanks for letting us in on all the ups and downs. Be well, stay safe. 🥾
Beautiful park. Your tires looked due to be replaced anyway. Discount Tire has competitive prices. Just one thing. Do you have a jack and wrench? You can't count on road service trucks to have the tools to change tires. There may be a place under your van for a compact spare. Did you get an owners' manual?
You need more ground clearance on your van. Have you considered having spacers installed to raise your van 1"-2" ? You might be able to get it done for less than $300-$400. Just an idea. Safe travels!
I wish! I would loved to get it done, but I asked the place that did my solar setup and they said it would be never impossible. Do you know of a specific place that can do it for that cheap?
Hi Maddie. I’m driving from Cleveland to Tennessee and I know you’re on the way, if you’re back home. Just wanted to see if you wanted to grab a coffee. You’re probably still out west. Please let me know. Safe travels.
Run flats are not meant for vans, these car manufacturers are nuts. I like run flats on sports cars. A van should have regular tires with more meat on them. maybe its just me lol. I think you can still have a spare, you just have to buy it online. Thanks for sharing as always, that was a pretty trail. Quite and all natural, bears do scare me though.
Interesting fact; snakes can only strike a distance equal to half their length. So if you stay at least 6 feet away from snakes on North America, you are out of striking distance.😊

Another great video !
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
The camera gimble thing looks cool AF! It deserved a separate comment.
Thank you! I was really lucky I got to try it!

Not long after we arrived in Colorado a few years back, we saw legit cowboys on horseback wrangling cattle, and it was definitely a memorable sight.
Aww that's so cool! Gotta love out west!
Thanks! Happy belated birthday Maddie
Thank you so much!!!
@@BeerinBeautifulPlaces welcome 🤗
You handled each situation with maturity and GOOD ideas
Thank you! I try!
Loved the flat tyre attitude! Even when it´s a bummer, it´s worst if you let it bring you down! I always try to keep it cool
Beautiful, thank you for sharing 😊
My pleasure 😊
I suggest that when you get back to base you raise the solar panel and secure the spare under it.
Hmmm, I kind of like how my solar panel now is because you can't tell it's there unless you're really tall. But maybe!

Yay! Thank you for all the compliments, I'm trying my best in all those areas and it's so nice of you to notice!
I would suggest Ice lake or Blue lakes while you are in Colorado
Aww I'm already back home! Maybe someday though!
You can get a tire tire mount on a swing out for the rear
Even on a minivan? Being able to open my trunk upwards and having an instant roof is my favorite part of it being a minivan

Thank you, Rick! I really appreciate the kind words
Love your videos you have the best personality don't ever stop making videos 💕
Thank you so much for saying that! It means a lot!
a beautiful place. I do remember the flat tire from a while ago, I think before the AT. i have had my share of tire problems, they always seem to happen at the wrong times
Yup it was before the AT! The origin of my cry count!
I remember your unfortunate experience with the run flats on your travel across America. I’m glad this wasn’t the same horrible experience.
Yeah!! This time was sooo much better!
Great video again of course ! I enjoyed the colors of the evergreens against the red and gold rocks and mountains ❤
Maddie 😍😍demonstrates the art of rolling with the punches.
Baby cows, cowboys and a beautiful moose ? Wonderful!
A punctured tire and a new tire riding shot gun? not so wonderful..

Thank you!! :) Glad you enjoyed!
Awesome video Maddie I really enjoyed it' I hope you have bless day.
Thanks, Jimmy! Same to you!
Another awesome video of an awesome place. You do such a fantastic job of hosting an adventure. I still need to go back and watch your AT hike from the start.
Thank you so much! I want to go back and rewatch my AT vlogs too, to re-live those days-- the good ones anyway!
you look like such a nice person. Please don't change.
Awesome. I love the baby cows ❤
Wow!
Real cowboys!!
Yeah! One of the highlights of my trip!
Cows are clearly your spirit animal..
Hoosier here your getting lost on the knobstone trail video lead me to your channel. Your content is amazing!
Oh thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Beautiful location, new tires ✔️ Thanks Maddie! 😊 God Bless 🙏🏻Appreciate you always my friend 🫶🏻 Stay safe and take care 👋🏻
Thanks! It was an awesome place!
I love Eldo canyon! Used to go there all the time when I was living in Boulder.
New video? Let's Go!
Woo woo!
Absolutely love you and your videos. You are logical and hilarious!
Thank you!!
Gorgeous!
It really was!
Thanks a ton for sharing this awesome video with us! 😍
I liked the moose

Does your van have an under the body spare tire spot? Look under the back end. Little cable that you crank down on to the rim then crank it up.
No, it doesn't unfortunately!
@@BeerinBeautifulPlaces Boooo. Sorry. Another option might be a hitch mounted tire carrier or basket. Another expense but….
Got home with sienna I got yesterday, starting my build tomorrow. Similar to your design, I tell people your my inspiration… lol. Pretty sure I’ve seen all your videos.
Oh that's so cool!! Hope the build goes smoothly as possible and many happy adventures await you!!
Great video thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Happy Labor Day you two.

haha those Latins really had a way with words!
That is one of my favorite beers! Glad you got the tires...you should feel safer now. Great video Maddie!
You know, I didn't think about that with the new challenge of storing a tire, but you're right! It is safer! Thank you for the reminder
Sweet dreams. Enjoy seeing your day
Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
Oh, look at the cute cows, nom nom nom.

No, I need to get those things! Luckily I'm not driving far away from anyone I can call to help me for the next few weeks!

Flat tire or not, you were due for a new set, LOL. Those were looking a little bald. Safety first!
True!

Sienna awd is different
@@natashab3412 Awd can still have non flats but i understand what you're saying
@@nature10879 i have a sienna. Took the run flats off when i got it. , so yes i agree
Sienna much better without the run flats.
Interesting fact; snakes can only strike a distance equal to half their length. So if you stay at least 6 feet away from snakes on North America, you are out of striking distance.😊
Ty!
Oooo good to know!
How in the world was a tire $1,400!?!?
It was all four tires, since I was switching from run flat to normal.
Wanna send pics but can’t figure it out
I don't think it's possible through UA-cam, sadly
Hi Maddie love your video lm Eric 🙏🕊️💔
Thanks, Eric!
It’s not their place. It’s the American peoples place and the cows are ruining it.😮😢
