problem #1

Nov 102007

Tacoma 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,550 miles
Floor jack, when changing a damaged mud flap from the the front driver's side of the truck, I placed the floor jack where the Toyota manual recommends, after the whole (1/4in less than whole) extension of the jack was applied the tire was barely lifted above ground, this was done on my homes drive way a totally flat area with no inclination anyway and all proper security put in place and the floor jack was inclined... no accident occurred, but (big one but), imagine under adverse conditions and nothing else to do around to change a flat tire, wet or uneven ground, traffic, wind or anything else that can really create an accident, for this kind of truck the oem floor jack provided is not a proper one.
