This has big tires for mud/dirt and you can put wood under as well ... seems popular enough to have been (and maybe still) not immediately in stock at Harbor Freight:

 

oem jack and a 2x8 piece of wood

 

I made a flat structure that also serves as my makeshift service ramps. If I plan to be far off-road I will toss in those and my traction boards.

 

Concerning those farm jacks, back in the day I witness a bumper jack pop off the bumper of a 69 Caprice. It hit a guy across the face with a lot of force causing considerable injury. It was an inch from braining him or perhaps killing him.

 

The one time I needed a jack, the oem jack worked fine. I also own a hi-lift, but stopped bringing it with me after multiple bad experiences.

TBQH, I haven’t had a flat in over 10 years and never with my 2016 or 2020 tacos.

Was it not feasible to drive your truck to a better location to fix a flat?

 

This is what I went with plus two 4x4 7" long for a host of purposes. Scissor Jack Kit for Off Road Jeeps | GenRight Jeep Parts including the jack.

 

how about anyone experience with scissors jack? i dont like oem lift bottle because its to unstable in my opinion even with all boards you put on it, given it has less than 2 " head to push against. Anyone used these phenamatic things?

 

Safe Jack makes kits with a bottle jack and various attachments like an axle cup and extension, that help add stability and height. The travel on the bottle jack is still pretty limited, so even with extensions you might have trouble if you try to lift by the frame rather than by the axle, depending on where you lift.

 

Don’t see what’s wrong with a cheap 60 hi lift
And badlands off road Jack

used them in parking lot. Used them at home. People use it off road.

haven’t slammed into a sharp rock to pop the tire on trail to need that but I carry it for if that does happen.

my old Alcan floor jack without a spacer wouldn’t even reach the truck at max height. Sold it. Guy said he was gonna get a spacer adapter and his truck was lower. Confirmed it reached.

I guess an air bag jack could be good if it’s quick to operate, safe, portable
For a wider footprint than teetering on an angle with a conventional jack.

 

Another trick I have used is to dig a hole and place the bottle jack at the bottom with some wood or rocks under it.

 

Another vote for the 2x8. Fits behind your back seat...

 

Useful for controlling unruly passengers ...

 

Anyone used these before ?
