How do you lift your truck?

What are you guys using to lift your truck in the event of a flat tire?

I really doubt the factory scissor lift will get me there in the event of a roadside emergency.

Relying on a farm jack or using a larger scissor lift or other?

 

Small bottle jack under the lca or rear axle works to change a tire. Either the stock one or I have a 3 ton one from harbor freight.

 

one thing about those heavy 'E' rated tires, you'll prob, never get a flat.
Board under jack will help if you do though.

 

While at home I have a hydraulic jack. I've actually thrown it in the bed on long trips. I plan on getting a farm jack to keep in the truck but right now while traveling I'm relying on AAA

 

wait.......yours is scissor? Bottles come stock.
Scissors come w/ most Toyotas. Wonder if it got swapped?

 

Honestly I don't even know what's in there . I have a floor jack I use at the house, but tomorrow my Jetta TDI is going back to to VW on the buyback so my tacoma will see some long trips to work. This had me wanting to make sure be based were covered on being to at least change a flat

 

I have to use a 60" high lo jack with a wheel strap and a block! Got to hook the wheel strap to the jack to lift it. Then throw the block under the axle. Drop the truck on the block and then pull the tire. If im in town i have roadside from my insurance co. And if not i have a friend who owns a tow truck company. So im covered all the way.

 

I have a 1.5 ton harborfreight alum that I keep in the bed w/ a 6-ton jack stand

 

Hi lift if I'm not at home.

 

Just picked up this jack myself to replace my old worn out lil trolly jack. Light weight and still fits behind the seat in my extended cab. Win. Also got a hi lift but not set up to be useable yet.

 

My factory bottle jack was not in place, guess ill be getting a harbor freight jack to take its place

 

If the stock bottle jack doesn't work, and I don't have the high lift, I'll just call AAA.

 

The stock bottle jack works with stock-diameter tires. I carry one short piece of 2x and one of 4x to allow for larger tires, or un-even ground.

 

my truck came stock with a bottle jack. but after the 3 inch lift i gave it, i now have to carry a 2X8X8 board to put under the bottle jack to make up for the difference.
