I am a new owner of an 97 FJ80, I know the truck is very! heavy so I am wondering about certain weight issues.
I want to do my own oil and brake pad changes in my garage. What weight rating of floor jack and jack stands do I need to get? The sturdiest I can find on sears.com is a 3.5 ton hydraulic floor jack, they sell it packaged with 3.5 ton floor jacks. If the truck is less than 6000 lbs. will these work just fine? Oh, I don't have a lift kit or anything so height should not be a problem.
When shopping for wheels, I see some have a load rating. What is that? One particular wheel has a 2400 lbs. load rating. Would you multiply that by 4 to see if it will hold up the TLC FJ80? Or does it work differently? Also are there any other particular issues I should be aware of when shopping for wheels?
Thanks A Lot, I'm looking forward to owning this wagon for a long, long time.
