    So I have this new-to-me 2023 4Runner SR5, and I've dolled it up the way I want it (new TRD wheels will be here tomorrow too). As it's new to me, I thought I better try out the jack and all that crap, so I knew where it was should I have to change a tire in the dark, the rain, the snow, the hurricane... you get the picture. I was shocked at what a pain in the arse it was to use the provided jack. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a storeable, good quality replacement for it that'll work? I appreciate all serious suggestions.

    Thanks for that! Looks like a better answer than the stock jack.

    The stock jack works fine for 99% of situations. You can even stabilize it offroad with products from Safe Jack. Once you go with something else you lose that storability int he stock location. At the lease the site I listed carries bottle jacks that don't take up too much space.

    So a bottle jack on steroids.

    I could use some accessories for my bottle jack I have for the trailer. Wonder if some of the accessories fit.

    I always have to carry couple 2x6 because its too short this would help.
