    I just placed my order and even purchased the safety triangle. The only thing I don’t have are the small metal tools towards the front of the styrofoam. Should I have these? Assuming can purchase locally or maybe during next holiday sale? I just found another post of yours. I’m attaching a screen shot. Are these the parts?
    Thank you!

    If that first message was from me, it must have been a very old one before we knew the production car was going to have lug nuts. If it's not from me, it's just wrong. You don't need the lug nut holder or the wheel guide pin. Those were for the pre-production version of the car in late 2022 when Toyota was still planning on using lug bolts like the bZ4X instead of the standard lug bolts they eventually went with.

    The tool kit you need is 09105-47020. It contains all three of the tools needed and costs $73.37 if you order it in the next 12hrs. That's the lug wrench, jack, and jack handle. As for the towing eyelet on the uppermost left, that's already in your car. The sockets and extension are completely optional and I picked them up at my local hardware store. The red emergency triangles are also super optional. 81604-WAA01 and $14.14 each right now. I have three in there, but I was just being excessive and wanting to fill up the space completely.

    Thank you for clarifying. I did order the proper tool kit. Total order including the caution stickers, one triangle and one premium carbon filter came to $549.48. I just need to order the tire. I so appreciate all the time you put in to researching and clarifying things. I search on here but that spare tire thread is so long.

    My friend is supposedly getting the spare kit installed at our local dealership tomorrow. I checked with the parts department and based on their order numbers they ordered the OEM deck boxes not the ones for the spare. : / I told them they should probably open the box before having her come in. Time will tell!

    It was from you. I was desperately searching. Thanks!
