    what does your fortuner come with, po? i am confident, they won't supply it with a jack not commensurate to its weight.

    i also bought that ace alligator jack, but i haven't used it, since i bought it years ago.

    the old scissors jacks 'ala 80s are very nice.
    Hydraulic bottle jack? Or screw type bottle jack? Sa mitsubishi adventure dual action hydraulic bottle jack ang kasama.. mas madaling mag angat kasi after masagad yung unang piston may isa pa ulit na lalabas

    "two step hydraulic + screw bottle jack."
    step 1: adjust initial height by turning the top.
    step 2: pump the lever up and down, to lift the car.

    i always have a block of wood out back. for increasing initial lift height.

    may pang-kalso ng gulong.
    may pangalawang piraso na ginagamit pampataas ng jack, kung kakailanganin... did this only once.. nakakatakot.. but at that time, i had no choice.
    but one should always park the vehicle on a level surface, to minimize the car from rolling, once jacked up.

    Onli in da peellipins it's called crocodile jack, alligator jack, but it's actually butiki jack. the proper name for that thing is garage floor jack

    Please take note that crocodile jack / garage floor jack is not ideal to use on roads or on any rough surface.
    It has small wheels that needs to move as the vehicle is being lifted. Those small wheels will have difficulty handling concrete roads especially rough ones.

    For me, it is better to use the bottle jack.

    i have used crocodile jacks on these so-called rough surfaces.
    i still prefer them over the bottle jacks.
    unlike bottle jacks that have a tendency to topple over, even on flat surfaces, crocodiles do not topple over. and the amount of lateral movement they do, considering the surface area of the safety cupped lifting head, is minimal naman as to be relatively "non-dangerous". gumagalaw rin nang kaunti yung kotse, to make up for the slight lateral movement at the jacking points used by crocodiles.
