This is my favorite from my collection but sadly it's not made by Toyota either:

Hi guys
Thought you might like a few pics of the OEM jack we have just restored as part of our '78 FJ40 (Australian spec) restoration.
All parts were media blasted and powdercoated 'safety yellow' which we picked as a very close match to the original shade. The internal screw was finished in bright zinc for a little extra protection. It looks as though all the original JIS Toyota screws are still present which was a bonus.
We also media blasted/powder coated the floor bracket, and I will source a correct rubber grommet as these generally seem to be long gone!

Nice work!!!
Just picked up another nice original 09110-35011, this one date coded '7 H' - Aug 1977.
No damage or missing parts, even the original JIS screws are in place. This will be restored as per my car's original jack above. I feel like the original is in ever so slightly better shape, so this one will be used in the car. I'll keep my eye out for an OEM handle/rod set to go with it.
Looking forward to stripping it down!

Hi there
Love this site.
First post today - after many years of reading and learning, finally joined and posted as i am stuck.
I was wondering if anyone has the details on how to pull apart these "brown" bottle jacks - i have checked all over the site and can't seem to find any details on how to break these down.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated
!!
thanks,

It looks like Toyota jack 09111-60050, the photo is from @treerootCO's posting. It has the Torx screws, the 2 indentations and lip between the two screws. Original color is black or brown.
There is another version of this 09111-60050 jack with a different sticker and slightly different look. From this treerootCO posting. The base of the column is different, your appears more like the one above.
Could also be 09111-35110, from this treerootCO posting. The jack has two perpendicular channels on the top of the cap, the -60050 jack only has one channel.

We need to talk to Woody - this jack reference as well as the tools/roll threads need to be in the sticky section . Invaluable info...

Brown Toyota Jacks - how to disassemble
See MustardBJ42's thread for detailed instructions and photos on disassembling the brown Toyota jacks. Thanks @MustardBJ42!
Hi all,
After many months of playing around i have finally worked out how to pull apart the classic Brown Bottle Jack.
Its such a simple yet effective design !!
Steps are as follows:
1) Find a small 2mm diameter pin on the top cap of the brown jack. This can be really hard to see - removing paint may be necessary. This usually is completely flush with the cap. The cap rotates freely.
2) Drill this pin out - make sure not to touch the sides - i.e. only drill out the pin. Don't drill the actual cap. AND NOTE - don't go very deep - you only want to go about 4-5mm. You will feel it give once you drill through pin. You don't want to drill into the sleeve.
3) Now this is the REALLY COOL Part. There are actually 3 small Ball Bearings that hold the cap onto the sleeve. These Ball bearings are located partially (1/2) embedded into the jack sleeve and the other half into a routed groove in the center of the CAP. These are spaced evenly at 120 degrees.
You can see the through the pin hole - as you rotate the cap around.
They are surprisingly easy to remove - flush with WD40 and then gently tap the jack when the PIN HOLE is correctly aligned and they simply fall out. One at a time.
Once the third one is removed you will be able to lift off the cap.
4) with the cap removed you can fully remove the jack centre and sleeves.
5) after cleaning and greasing everything simply reverse the process and the re-insert a new pin or solder (again just don't go too deep to hit the sleeve).
All the best and good luck !

Update - stripped, sandblasted and powder coated. I am having the internal screw zinc plated as per my other jack, for added durability. A bit too much PC on the threads of the top screw, so ill clean that off.
I also managed to find another correct handle and had this refinished too! Now - the hunt continues for two correct extension rods, so I have two complete jack sets.
Gee all my pics have vanished - i'll have to host them somewhere better than Facebook!
Just picked up another full 09110-35011 set to restore from a 1975 FJ40. Date code is 5F - June 1975.
Set came with jack, handle, extension rods, and even the engine crank handle as a bonus! It was a bit sad to separate this gear from it's original host vehicle, but the car itself is getting towards cactus and will be stripped for the few panels that remain usable.
The jack even has a part of the original neck sticker present, which I have never seen before.

Just attach them here on mud. You can upload 5 pics per post I believe. Use the "Upload File" button. No need to host them off site anymore. In fact you could go back and edit your old posts and add the pics.
On loan from Treeroot, the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum now has the pleasure of presenting 33 distinct variations of jacks on display (along with some pristine tool rolls and a portion of his unprecedented collection of Land Cruiser inspired toys). Thank you Mike for allowing the museum to present these items to the public! The footprint of Mike's collection currently on display is ~160 square feet. We still have at least another ~200 square feet of items to build displays for.

'74 FJ40 - my first!
I still can't believe all the years I've been going to SLC and staying at the Hampton Inn RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER (University/300W) from the museum and I had no idea it was there... 
We have been at this location, 470 West 600 South SLC UT, for just over a year and regularly open to the public since early this year.

That is a JIS pan head, M8x20 screw, and lock washer. May be available from metric fastener suppliers. The JIS pan head has a different profile from non-JIS pan head, metric screws. Or try to find a broken jack for parts, these show up occasionally.
