SILVER Star
A club run this weekend further reinforced my appreciation for the utility of a compact bottle jack. We delt with several stuck vehicles but jacking up the axles and stacking rocks under the tires. One truck was a stock, extended cab long bed Chevy that was hung up on a rock right under the middle of the truck. I know everyone swears by a high lift jack but the tall jack would was pretty worthless in these cases. Keeping the suspension compressed while lifting the tire was key.
Anyhow I've got the OE Toyota jack in my 60 (along with a high lift) but the crank handle that fits on the end of the crank rod is a wimpy stamping that has the square hole nearly rounded out. I want a crank handle that I can CRANK on without stripping out the hole. Is the stock handle a stamping or a forging? Are there any better handles out there from minitrucks, 40s or Corrollas?
