Anyone have a picture of the stock tool kit setup, what happens on the floor under the driver's seat and how all these things were held down stock?

Was the jack yellow? All I have are the long yellow handles above the passenger-side rear wheel cover and a few 10 mm bolts through the floor under the driver's seat that don't look like they do anything?

Thanks

hmm a picture would do this the most justice but, i try to describe as best as i can. the tool bag and jack are both held to the floor under the drivers side seat and the jack extension snap into the clamp over the passenger rear fender. the yellow jack wedges with the bottom of the jack against that 4"ish lip that raises into the bed/back and the front Goes into the bracket that bolts into the floor closer to the center of the vehicle. The tool bag is held down closer to the door of the 40 with a rubber bungee cord type strap that pulls towards a single latch bolted to the floor almost directly under the rail of the seat. I have added so many tools to the tool bag that I no longer have any idea which ones were original and in what order they were in. but small hand tool wrenches in the pouch and the tire irons in the smaller pouches. ? no help?

That jack is the wrong color. The handle is closer; maybe perfect. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the jack holds in place by the friction of it being jacked between the tub and one bracket.

You can get the jack, new or used from SOR, as well as the tools, but not the OEM toolbag.

You re right about the color on the jack,,,kinda hard to tell in the picture to some but you are very observant sir.
The crank handle and crank rods were just powder coated but they are also a shade off.
As for the jack positon...its just lying where it lives, not secured, just for the "photo op"
Lets see some pictures of your set...

The tools, original pliers, screwdriver, lug wrench, open end wrenches including the original plastic clamp. Not bad if you ask me for being over 30 years old. But you should see the rest of the vehicle.
