In the market for a good quality floor jack for maintenance tasks on the 4Runner. Curious as to what brand/type/capacity rating members here are using and can recommend?

I just picked up a 1.5 ton Pittsburg brand (Harbor Freight) for $60. Low profile, quick pump, works great.

This one. Great great greattt quality. Well worth the money. Daytona™ Super-Duty Professional Car Jack

This is the correct answer. Essentially a Snap On clone. Picked one up last weekend and wish I had long ago.

I have the red harbor freight 3 ton low profile jack. They're discontinuing the gray ones so if you can find one, they're cheaper. I'll link some coupons below, be sure to check that site for good coupons there. Definitely don't need the low profile for the 4runner, can save yourself $10 and get the regular one.

I got an orange Daytona 3 ton jack a little while ago. Highly recommended.

I got an Arcan XL3000 from Costco. 3 ton and works just fine. I’ve seen it as cheap as $90.

I have a 30+ year old Sears Craftsman Professional 3 1/2-ton floor jack that I still use. Similar to the one in this video

Years ago Craftsman (and Sears) sold out and started producing crap, but my 30+ year old 'Professional' designation hand tools (wrenches, screw drivers, sockets, ratchets, et.al.), air tools, bottle jacks, and floor jacks are still going strong - never could afford the professional grade stuff like Snap-On back then.

This is only possible using 4 wheel drive low.

I hope this isn't to far off topic. I have a bad spine and jacking my t4r up is pretty much undoable. however, these give me the capability of doing some maintenance and keeping repair bills down. Lying on my back and doing work is much easier for me. They also allow me to get a little higher in the engine compartment when doing maintenance, I do this by turning one upside down on the other.

They add an additional 4 1/2 inches so my belly will fit and it doesnt seem like a struggle under the vehicle.
I use the rope to drag them so I don't have to carry them.

And no, I am not afraid of them they are very sturdy (please use in gear only with emergency brake on) . And don't forget to move them before backing up to far.

They are glued and screwed.

Really nice setup for those ramps Seasparrow.

Thanks, cost is about 25 bucks and home depot did the cutting for free (except the angle cut). Obviously you cant do any work with wheels but very easy for everything else as long as people use emergency brake and also do not drive to far forward. It would probably be safer with some sort of 2x4 stop in the front.

Another Daytona jack user here.
I have 3 of them and I can use 2 in the front and 1 under the rear diff to lift my T4R up for tire rotations.

Just picked up the yellow Daytona jack last week and it is awesome!
