Very interesting. I had no idea that jack was that good. I just got a 4Runner, and I will be keeping and appreciating that jack! Thanks for sharing, man!

[@stevecarlson2346]

Last year I did a search for a better jack for my built and lifted GX460. I didn't want to carry a Hi-Lift, so I looked at bottle jacks. I did find one that would go 24" (Baoshishan, for those interested), but then I checked the factory Toyota jack and it goes over 19", and I wouldn't have to carry an extra jack and worry about it leaking as you mentioned in the video. So I bought a couple of extension products such as from Land Cruiser Product to augment the capacity of the factory jack and all is good

[@bavardage]

@stevecarlson2346 Land Cruiser Product says their "medium" jack adapter is out of stock. However, out of curiosity, does this adapter fit (cradle) your _frame_ rail? It doesn't seem like it would from LCP's pictures. Cradling the rear axle, though, should be no problem ... It would seem being able to spread out the lifting forces across a larger surface area would be advantageous from a pressure viewpoint, so I'm wondering if there are any other companies that might offer adapters for our stock jack ...

[@stevecarlson2346]

I was mostly thinking of the axle for the LCP adapter.

[@bavardage]

Ah ... Many thanks!

This video made me go out to my 1996 Land Cruiser and look closer at my jack. It has the same capacity at 1,800 kilograms, but when fully extended it only hits 16.5 inches. Great info sir and great outro music with the rock version of the "Unsolved Mysteries" theme song.

Agreed. Great jack . Don’t replace it. accessorize it - weld up or buy a piece of U channel to set on the top and I square piece of scarp wood or commercial jack base.

[@CalebOjile]

Traveled all over Western Australia in Toyota Hiluxs. We used this jack frequently. It is reliable as ever and works a treat. Never understood the need for an aftermarket jack that takes up more space and is potentially less reliable.

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

amen! Thanks for sharing your real world data... here in America unfortunately people are heavily influenced by marketing. If it's not overtly marketed as "tough" people will dismiss it... it's small and brown... not big and neon pink with stickers that say "maxxx" or "ultra!" on it so they tend to dismiss it...

[@breakerwave31]

Fantastic video. Those are words of wisdom my friend. Those jacks have gotten me outta many a jam in deep sand when a tree branch or driftwood went into the sidewall. 💪

[@cashanks]

Thanks for your very helpful vid. I have a 2010 FJ Cruiser which comes with this little jack. However, I also bought and mounted a 48" Hi-Lift jack to my roof rack because I thought this little brown jack was a joke. I think it has some limitations in off-road conditions, but I definitely have a better appreciation for the quality and usefulness. I also carry a hilift jack base and even 1 6-ton jack stand, just in case. Probably overkill. Thank you much for the education!

Had one similar in a 1997 pathfinder. I knew there was something different about it. Seriously geared and strong as hell.

[@dpd6401]

Well, I have the same Takeuchi jack you describe, which was brand new and realised it comes with a comprehensive tool kit too and just tried it on my boat/trailer and it worked beautifully. As you say it’s 1 to 1 gearing so needs a little muscle, but it still lifted it. I put it against my 10 tonne Kinchrome bottle jack, and it’s higher too, but so much lighter. Thank you, I’ve ditched my bottle jack to my garage.

[@nickwaah2702]

How true ... unlike hydraulic jacks, this jack can be stored in any orientation and it will _never_ leak. And just look at its extension without any accessories!!! Sadly, I can see some prematurely swapping out perfectly good (and even great) items (Panasonic battery, this jack) for whatever 'cool' accessories are in vogue ... only, in reality, to end up with completely inferior products. 🙄

Chevy Jack's are similar, I have my drill adapted to it. I'll switch all 4 wheels in like 20 minutes

[@zukjeff]

um..they do 'break'. if you wind on the pinion with a large level the base plate domes down to the point it skips teeth. I now weld an inch long weld along each of the 4 sides between the eye holes that rivet the base to the top.
