Proper way to stow the tools/jack (regular cab)?

I know how the lug wrench goes, and the jack handle (though I'm missing the small clamp that keeps the jack handle from rattling), and I've got the jack itself in place, but then there's a small black steel spring clip that seems like it's supposed to fit in front of the jack but doesn't seem to actually hold anything in place. I can't find the clip I'm talking about on the parts diagrams.

I had a blowout the other day and wasn't paying attention to how everything came out, I was just in a hurry to get back on the road.

The owner's manual doesn't give specifics.

 

I'm missing the rubber band and clip too so when I put my jack back I lower it all the way down and then turn the knob so the jack raises and holds itself inside the bracket and no rattle for me.

You see it here AKA?

I have the rubber bungie and loop setup for the jack. Modified to accept a 8 ton bottle jack that just fits.

 

Maybe this will help


came from my 95 owners manual.

 

I have that same picture. The clip I can't figure out isn't shown there or in that eBay listing.

This is it:


It seems to fit here, but not tightly:

 

That's the right way. Pull clip and bend more open. That will make fit tighter. Even done right it will rattle. I took felt pads that go on bottom of chairs. They have peel off sticky back. Stick between long handle and bracket. Works perfectly. Also black.

 

Huh, I thought I was an idiot. The clip doesn't even really do anything in that position. Like sirsaechao said, I raised the jack until it was wedged in under the bracket.

I'm using that blanket to keep the handle from rattling for now!

 

I never used it once in19 yrs.
