    I dated a red head in college that was a super soaker. Had to wash the sheets all the fucking time. A lot of fun. But she was crazy!

    You would not have both tires missing, so there is an angle involved. You don’t have to jack right next to the wheel with the flat.

    So yes, if both rear tires were completely missing, then you might need to start with your factory jack, but that seems like an unlikely secenario.

    To all with actual recommendations, I appreciate the advise. To answer the question why I think the OEM Jack is a POS. Truth be told, it was a shitty day, decided to rotate the tires for some “alone time”. Usually use my floor jack but decided to use the OEM. Wasn’t really a fan. So I thought I’d reach out to good ol’ TW for advise on an upgrade (and bypass the jackass remarks along the way).

    I’m actually surprised there wasn’t a “for a $40,000 truck the bottle jack should be better” comment.

    When one posts with pronouncements of POS and trash, one shouldn't be alarmed at people who are willing to get into the crapper one created. Or at least not play a victim when others play. Just a friendly FYI. Which you can take for being a jackass or not. Don't really care.

    I’m pretty sure the stock trucks are the one that do 600,000+ miles. But what do I know.

    The jack is more than adequate for its intended purpose, changing a flat. If you are rotating your tires or other maintenance tasks then yeah, it's not going to be fun.

    Car companies definitly go with the lowest bidder and try to stay with in parameters toyota builds quality products but they still cut corners where they can but its a mechanical jack not a ton can go wrong i keep my mechanical jack and i have craftsman hydraulic jack I mainly use i like having the mechanical as a back up in case if the hydraulic(seal busts or it leaks) fails I know the mechanical one will fersure work. I also carry a few pieces of 4x4 wood so i dont have to jack as much. If you dont want to use the mechanical one don't go buy a nice hydraulic jack its a free country. Hope you find a good setup!
