 | A Jack I Like ... I just got a great thing from Harbor Freight. Its an inovative new jack (see pic). No crawling under or fighting with a floor jack, you just roll it to the tire you want to lift - and pump it up with the foot pedal. Also, b/c it lifts the tire, it has a very good lift height. A floor jack only starts to lift once it reaches the frame contact point. On a truck (or especially off-roader) that can be pretty high. FYI - here is the HF link: Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices |

 | That is pretty cool, amazing what you can find at Harbor Frieght sometimes, but I do see one issue.... what if you need to replace a tire? Kind of seems like it would be in the way..... LOL.

 . I originally got the jack b/c I have a low clearance sports car and it was a huge PITA to lift the car using a floor jack. I was then pleasantly surprised that it worked on the truck just as easily. | |
