Floor jack and battery jumper pack

Looking for a jack and jumper for my 2011 Tundra. Any suggestions? Also if you have any mounting suggestions with pics that would be great! I do have a Decked system.

 

Are you married to a floor jack?

There are lots of other jack options that take up less space.

Floor jacks are nice, but if you need a jack off the pavement, they suck to position. The wheels never want to roll. You are getting dirty positioning the jack. You still getting dirty, might as well use a jack that isn't gonna cause you to blow a grape positioning the thing.

 

Grab a good bottle jack and maybe a couple of wood blocks. Been driving all over for decades and never needed a jump box, so I can't recommend one. If you want a good floor jack for home, lots of them in pawn shops and you can usually get a solid 20-35% off tagged prices.

 

As for jump packs I have a Hulkman and love it

they keep a charge for up to 18 months according to them. I always just throw it on the charger to make sure it’s good to go before any roadtrip. Never had to use it for my own vehicle but has come in handy helping neighbors or even random people that need a jump. Definitely worth the money for peace of mind and takes up less space than jumper cables. A lot of people also recommend Noco

As for floor jacks check out the harbor freight badlands jack. Designed for off road use and gets a lot of good reviews.

 

I carry a

$170 gooloo GP4000 GOOLOO 4000A peak car jump starter 12V auto battery booster supersafe lithium jump box for all gas, up to 10.0L diesel engine, portable power pack with USB quick charge and type C port, orange

gooloo GP4000 everywhere I go. Had jump started almost every vehicle I’ve come across. Powerstroke diesels, to older vehicles with dual batteries. Every is amazed at how quick it starts up. People always think I’m going to jump them with the mail truck, but I’m like nope this little box will do it.

 

Do research, some jump boxes have started fires while stored in vehicles.

 

I've a Badlands jack which works great for my lifted Tundra.

I've been considering one of these for a jump pack.
They have ones for DeWalt and Makita as well.

Great points! You gave me some things to think about!

 

Yeah, I can see not needing a jump box in most climates but we had multiple days so cold up here (Montana) that the truck just wouldn't start and needed to be jumped. I guess I could install a block heater but that's a project for later.
