When the tailgate is down, it blocks the hole.

On my old 1st gen tundra, I had an extra arm that only went to the rear of the tire that I could attach a socket wrench to. It was a PITA but worked. I never got a flat so, never had to do it for real...

I think you asking if you put the tailgate back on after installing a hawk will you be able to lower your spare tire?

 

What year Tundra?

 

On my  '05 Tundra / '16 Hawk it would not be a problem; but wait, you mean having the tailgate in the down position all the time since the Hawk extends beyond the bed?....not getting into why the very heavy tailgate is needed or wanted ....

That and depending on year, if the camper is sticking past the tailgate, i don’t think you’d be able to get the tailgate back on if you had taken it off prior to camper Install

My 2014 tailgate has to be moved to about a 45 to slide on and off

2019 tundra 2019 hawk rollover was told tailgate should be used for support hawk it will cover about 1/2 of tailgate. So guess I'll have to find a tool that works from underneath in times of trouble

Perhaps...but if you lift the Hawk and install the tailgate in the down position and then lower the Hawk into the bed....hell, I don't know...never considered using the tailgate on Tundra for a variety of reason...but that is just me.

 

Ps...What is a "2019 Hawk Rollover"?  Half the tailgate?  Man the beds must have really gotten shorter!

  Dennis,

 

Is this the Tundra you have?   "2019 Toyota Tundra the TRD Pro-Crew max with a 5.5' bed".  If so, that is one short bed and 14" onto the tailgate is significant...
