The lugs are the same size(21mm) and the jack will work, the Prius hasn't gotten much heavier in the past few years. So any tire iron that's 21mm will work, and any jack that is rated to lift 3100lb will work.

However if I had a chance, I would get an aftermarket jack that will be more reliable than the stock ones. This looks like a good option. Hell, put that together with this wrench and you'll be set. Can't get much cheaper than $30 for this stuff.

Just got this wrench. Those 2 sockets it comes with covers a wide range of socket sizes for lug nuts, pretty much all youd need for that purpose. Only $11 too

Questions on wheel cleaning

  1. Should I stop using Meguiar's Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Spray? What damage do silicone based tire dressing do? I've only used it once so far.

  2. What pieces of equipment should I buy to remove my tires in order to clean inside the wheel wells and wax them? I'm thinking a tire iron and a floor jack should do the trick.

    Thanks

Round two? Awesome! :)

You're right, that's quite a bit of space to give up every day. I'd definitely think hard about some of the items:

Do you really need the jack stand? If you're not going to be underneath the vehicle, I'd say no. You should not be underneath the vehicle. If you decide you do need it, then why not two? They'll nest pretty good (especially if you zip tie them together) and not take up too much more space.

Same thing with the jack. If your stock screw jack is that bad, consider replacing it with a suitably rated hydraulic bottle jack instead – at about 1/4 the space required. I'd probably carry an easily stowed 8"x8" piece of plywood to improve stability, which might solve the problems with the stock jack anyway.

Continuing the theme, think carefully about the full socket / wrench set. How skilled are you really, and what repairs are you planning to take on? Even if you decide it's something you really want, there are probably 3 or 4 sizes of bolt on your vehicle – you can probably build a custom kit in 1/10 the space.

You have no road triangles to set up while you're doing all this repair work? That's expecting people to see your vest before it's too late. Bad idea. Some flares (even LEDs) wouldn't be a bad thing either. Personally, I keep my safety vest inside the vehicle, not in the cargo area I won't be able to get to easily. Probably the most dangerous time you'll face is exiting your vehicle – especially in dark / bad weather situations. Having it easily accessible is worthwhile.

The lug wrench is also pretty unwieldy for something you don't plan to use frequently. If the stock one doesn't give you enough leverage, throw in a 24" cheater bar – which way easier to carry. You've already got a breaker though. If you're stubborn, a collapsible one instead. Torque wrench? That's pretty serious overkill.

Consider losing the gas can. The first time you use it means a lot of work to completely remove all remaining fuel so you don't torture your lungs every time you drive afterward. I've got a collapsible plastic water bladder I know isn't strictly legal or "a good idea" to use for fuel – but it'll work in an emergency. Toss it in the trash without much guilt. It'll work for water too of course.

Don't see a 12V jumper box, or jumper cables. Preferably both. Especially in electronics-heavy modern vehicles, electrics are the most common failure after tires. Also don't see a tow strap, which can be super helpful (certainly better than nothing) if you're stuck and a kind stranger happens by without any recovery gear.

As far as storage, I'd definitely lose those corrugated Amazon monstrosities – they'll probably disintegrate in a year or so from heat and moisture. (I guess you'll always have easy replacements) A single plastic bin that's taller would let you use vertical space better. But it'll also be "tippy" so you'll want to secure it somehow. I like having multiple "soft" bags. Their deformability makes packing items in easier, and also packing other stuff around the bag in the trunk easier.

Can't wait to see round three!
