LC Bottle jack

Those appear to be OEM rock rails? If so, you shouldn't jack the vehicle up with them they are attached to the body not the frame.

FYI, OEM jack works just fine even with 35" and 3" lift. I have the same hi-lift jack but would never carry that in any vehicle at all times.

Edit: I stand corrected, they are indeed frame mounted.

They’re the FE rock rails and are frame mounted with (8) M10 flange bolts per rail, they’ll do the job for a tire change or occasional recovery.

Good to know the OEM will jack that high, thanks as I hadn’t tried extending it all the way post lift and tires.

Post edited for correctness, could have swore these were mounted to the body like the running boards and predator steps, but they aren't!

100% and can confirm it’s “rock solid” resting on them out on the trail - cheers!

Another option - use what you have.

The Toyota screw bottle jack has been around for +40 years. Actually the old restored yellow versions can get pricey. They’re overbuilt & perform well out of their league.

• Lightweight
• Safe using @ one corner @ time.
• Base / keep (2) 8” long 2x6 scraps in your bin behind the 2nd row storage box. Stable base on practically anything
• Can lift 35” w/ 3” lifts. Use the same bottle jack on my lifted Tundra.
• im going to try an $20 adapter to go on the end.

I used mine once to swap to winter wheels. It worked fine but frankly it was terrifying. And it’s geared so low that you have to spin the lever 50,000 times to get the truck high enough. I attached the end of it to a drill and spun it that way.

I’m content having Discount Tire swap my wheels out. Otherwise I’d absolutely buy a heavier duty jack.

Checked & fits nice on our size bottle jack. Even fits in cargo jack space using Velcro strap.
