Not all model years were equipped with those. So it's not just that everybody loses them.

If you're carrying extra eight, you can only lift the front or the rear, but not both at the same time.

That's a tricky question. What year is your 4runner? The different years came with different amounts of eight standard. The 98 obviously having the most.

I'm pretty sure doing that doubles the capacity of the jack stand.

It does, until it gets to the point where it hits the subframe, as designed... There is a visible circular indentation to locate the jack point on the OEM "skid" plate.

OK, that's good to know. I assumed they stamped that bullseye in the skid plate for a reason.
