    I don't understand the 2 Jacks up front Lol. There is a single jack point up there, if anything put the 2 Jacks under the rear. Or use jack stands!

    Use jackstands. That whole setup is a recipe for maiming, death, and destruction.

    :facepalm:

    Uh...The point I was trying to make is there are safer ways to do something like this with things like jack stands, hydraulic lifts, etc. Holding up the whole truck with nothing but 3 floor jacks is a bit stupid in my opinion. If I saw someone doing this to my truck, I would have to resist the urge to smack the idiot who was doing it. :smack:

    I know but this guy said the truck has a single jack point up there , as for this case a hydraulic lift would be the best option but it is what it is job got done

    Yes 3 points are better than 2, but there is a specific jack point up front, put the 2 Jacks at the rear. I have an aftermarket skid so heck with a jack point lol.
    Or better yet 2 jack stands on the rear axle!

    The dolly jacks you are using have wheels and are not meant to hold the truck up, only lift it to the desired height, then you place jackstands under the the designated points: two under the front crossmember and two under the rear axle. Then you release the jacks slowly until it is resting securely on all four stands.

    I made the mount by myself cutting the size of bracket I want in an old bed frame. A 3/8" washer in the rail is holding the bracket to it.

    Here you go...

    http://www.campsaver.com/roof-track-system-60-in

    I ordered the 60" and plan on cutting it down to fit my top. I also found a 5% off code by googling campsaver discount, but I can't remember what it was.

    ORS Racks Direct also has them for a few bucks more, but I found a 10% coupon for them after I had already ordered. It would have been about a $1.50 cheaper through ORS.

    I ended up paying $95 shipped from Campsaver.com

    Thanks man. You know how you are going to put them on and what's needed. I know the caps are layered and may leak

    I hit 1500 miles in me new DCSB 4x4 offroad trd so I changed front and rear diff , transfer case and engine oil to mobile one synthetic. I have previously (only had the truck about 4weeks) relocated the rear diff breather, installed locks on both truck bed cubbies, installed husky matts, added door sill protectors, Toyota bed mat, console vault (love it !), installed brake controller, added stainless steel nerf bars and added a TracRack bed rack. During the motor oil swap I also installed the Fumoto oil drain valve which I use on all my vehicles. Forgot to mention I did the hose clamp tailgate mod as well.
