New toy.

Greetings from California,
Just picked up a 2003 x, bought it as a bridge until I get my wife's Kia fixed. She blew the engine and that. Prior to that I drove a 1986 hardbody long bed 4x. I'm looking to start rebuilding the front end on the X. It's a 2X.

I'm wondering what is the jack to carry ?

Looks mighty clean, welcome!

You are wondering what about the jack?

I have the factory jack, a 6t bottle jack and a Hi-Lift. Options.

Welcome from TX.
I've actually had my 3t floor jack in the back of mine for 6mo and don't regret it. It also has the factory crap jack (I need to remove) and a 6t bottle in a tool kit for options.

I'm off road in situations I shouldn't be in tho.

When I bought it, there was no jack.
Sounds like the bottle jack is the way to go. 6 tons sounds about right.

They are usually short enough to fit under the axle but tall enough to lift it clear of the ground.

Plus they can be used in many different terrains.

Welcome from Md !!
I carry a high lift and a Craftsman 12t bottle and a 1/4" thick 6" x 2ft piece of aluminum and a 4x4 piece of wood in case of soft ground.

I’m partial to a bottle jack too. Mine is a mechanical Toyota jack so no worries about fluid leaks if stored sideways.

Thanks TerryD and TheCrabby1. Ever since that night my Hardbody 4x, sunk in the dunes above San Felipe, up to the sill, I've been carrying a selection of 4x4 and 2x4 blocks around. That night we literally stumbled upon a pallet of bricks. Then the wind kicked. By the the time we got loose and made our way down hill, we all looked like we had been sand blasted.
