What is this thing?

Pic is not of my Tacoma, but wondering what this thing is.

I scraped a snow-covered rock and dinged it pretty good earlier today.

 

Speaking of jack points...are their anymore dedicated underneath the 3rd gens?

 

Owner's manual, literally.

 

Thanks! It didn’t look important to me, and it’s a small ding.

 

That’s your front jack point. Your rear jack point is under your rear differential. A few dings in front jack point are no cause for concern.

 

The Tacoma pictured was not lifted by the approved jack points.

 

I'm more interested in knowing what those two 2x4 looking things are in the photo...why are they there, what are they being used for? Just curious...

 

I think it's a salvage yard fork lift.
