If its a 95 to 01 then fold down the rear seats and at the back the seat is where you will find it.

You may be able to use the tire iron in place of the rod. This is actually how some jacks are designed.
To get the spare tire off a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder you should insert the long rod into the hole in the trunk. Push the long rod down and turn it. Once it catches you can lower the tire down. The rod and tools that you need are under the back seat of your vehicle.
Salvage yard or Toyota dealer.
Your tire tools will have a rod with a hook on the end. Maybe, Connect the other rods to it and insert it into the hole above your license plate.use the hole in the handle of the lug wrench to crank the rod counterclockwise to lower the spare mounted on a winch and cable under the truck bed. If the winch has a lock you might find the key in your glove box. Install it on the end of the rod. Use the rod with the hook to operate your bottle jack if you have one.
Go buy another one.
use your jack rod from under the hood. There is a hole beside the rear lisence plate... it goes in there and inserts into the spare tire carrier. crank it down and unhook it!! Good Luck!!
