Bottle jack extension adapters. Put your factory jack back to work on lifted vehicles (1 Viewer)

[staggrlee]

I don't like always carrying my Hi-Lift and even when I do it's not the first thing I want to haul out to lift one wheel.

Ran into these guys last weekend at Northwest Overland Rally (no affiliation) and they said they thought their adapters would fit the factory jack so I hauled it over to them.

Turns out their extensions fit right on the factory bottle jack if you just knock off the stamped steel cap. It's just held on with four punch crimps. If you get the jack base you can drill/chamfer holes for the screws and screw the jack directly to it. I put some aluminum bushings on the screws so the wingnuts sit securely on the mount. The plate is a heavy bit of steel but it doubles as a Hi-Lift base.

Dude that's kick ass! Totally going to copy you, as I too was thinking bottle jacks are in some cases a good go to choice

There's already a member on here that makes that exact same product - @LandCruiserPhil I would personally buy it from him before anyone else to support the Land Cruiser community.

Thanks
FWIW if you use the jack safe jack includes it will not fit under your axle when your tire is flat.

Thanks for the reminder. Yes, buy from Phil. Totally forgot that he makes this same adapter.

In fact I may buy the LCP 2" adapter since it will work for my FJ62 and will go over the female ends (1.75" diameter) of the Jack Safe stuff allowing me to use their flat pad and posts as a jack stand while simultaneously using the bottle jack with the Jack Safe adapter.

I will say that the Safe Jack adapter fits snuggly on the OE jack with the cap removed (wouldn't fit at all with the cap on) and their longer extensions make it possible to also use the bottle jack with my teardrop trailer. The trailer has drop-down rear support legs which aren't lifts and with the longer extension(s) I can lift at the rub rail/sliders on the trailer for easy leveling in camp.

There is also this:

Bring the jacking/lifting of your 100/LX470 to a new safe level

Jacking your Land Cruiser/LX470 is now much easier and safer anywhere with our Jack Adapter. A factory Toyota jack is arguable one of the best most reliable jack available but lacks when it comes to safe placement. With the additional of a jack adapter lifting your 100/Lx470 in the field or in...

Your brick sounds more expensive than my piece of wood.

Our Jack Adapter was designed not to fit tight. This gives the adapter the ability to cant while the jack stays vertical. This provides a solid base with more adapter contact making it less chance of slippage.

This is not to say ours is better than safe jack just different. Also pointed out above can do things our cant.

Just what I needed. Thank You! We're new to offroading and I was planning on getting a bottle jack and wondered how to lift an axle in a secure way. Very cool.
