What did you do to your Trailboss today? 🛠️

Found these neat diesel emblems on Etsy. Chose the carbon fiber finish instead of matte black. Held on with 3M tape.

Like the look of that. Do you remember the seller ?

What are your mounting points for that Farm Jack … I’ve thought of buying one but zero mounting points , maybe the rear hitch..: but cool looking set up.. bought this jack seems to be safer and I can actually use it , still have my old floor jack as well …:seeing how I’m running 35’s with a little bit or a lift ….factory jack wasn’t too cut it .

The mounting point is the Quick Fist screwed into the wall of the truck bed. They don't come with screws. I used self taping screws with washers for the farm jack. The Quick Fist is definitely heavy duty enough to hold the heavy jack.

I like the combo jack/stand you have.

Sorry , I missed typed …lift contact point of your truck … where will the farm jack contact your truck to lift without damaging the aluminum bumpers …

Installed Husky rear wheel opening liners.
I would not recommend them for money nor fit.
They needed some trimming, notches did not line up and needed 3 additional notches on the top of each.
Plastic is heavy and seems like they’d hold up well.
Just fit like shit on my truck.

Sure you installed them right? They are side specific. I had no issues installing mine.

I run a reciever hitch skid plate on the rear that has a place for the jack to lift from. I used it on the front tow hook to go really high and change an off road blow out. It bent the tow hook. If I have to do the front again I will use it in combination with the bottle jack. Some times you need both. For example, off road when you don't have room to properly place the bottle jack I can lift the truck enough to get the bottle jack in place. Im off road a lot. I have ripped the sidewall open on 4 Duracrap tires. Every time the ground conditions were different. I like having options to stay safe and effective.

Yeah farm jacks are super versatile but our trucks don’t have heavy factory bumpers or rock rails to use these hi jacks …. So I bought a hybrid jack stand bottle jack …I still have a small floor jack …

If you could lift the corner with the flat/ruined tire off the ground, then place a jackstand/bottle jack under the truck, fixing the situation would be possible.

That is what this accessory allows: lifting the tire by the Wheel. So I have started carrying a good jackstand when I take the Hi-Lift/Farmers jack.
I also take sturdy squares of wood (16 inches square) as additional Base Plates for the Hi-Lift (besides the plastic one) and the Jackstand, for soft/sandy terrain.

However- this thing can also be dangerous. Parking brakes do not hold a Front Wheel. When I used the combination on a front tire (Corvette) the tire/wheel began to turn away from the jack. Not good.

Our trucks would be safer: Put the truck in 4WD Low before lifting. All wheels are Locked in doing so.
(The 4WD-Low is a feature the vette does not have.)

Also ... Member MrColieman posted this on Oct. 3rd (Vehicle Recovery Gear thread) regarding an Adapter that he invented for the Pinch Welds.
One of these may be my next Welding/Plasma Cutting/FabriCobbling Project.

What cost Convenience?
I could drive all the way across Denver metro to a yard where I can probly get the 3" x 2" rectangular steel tube cheap. Or ...
I can order a 12 inch length priced at $22, and shipped for another $22 ... is it worth it?
The LiftMate was about $60.
