How to cleaverly store a full sized jack in the Maverick?

I do not know about you, but I have had to change a flat on a soft shoulder. I cannot imagine using your jack without something like a 2 x 10 under it. A nice piece should fit under your back seat along with that tarp someone suggested earlier. Hopefully if you get a flat you can just throw the flat tire in the bed and repair it later, no need to crank it up under the bed. I am not sure since I have never had a truck - can you just crank up the cable and replace the spare later?

I do not think it matters where you post this as long as you are clear on your subject line, which you did. If you just post 'Flat tire ?', then no one really knows what you are asking for.

thank you for the reply, yes theres no need to put the flat under the truck, that in my opinion would be pointless since i would be getting it fixed right away

What’s wrong with a good bottle jack? It is just as quick and will work as fast as a full floor jack? Will fit under rear seat. Just think dont ruin your bed with a jack rolling around.

It might look like yellow in some pics, but definitely is a orange color.

I love to death my cyber orange color, feels so good no having the same boring color than 99.99 of the other vehicles on the road. If you offered me a lariat in other color in exchange for my XLT I would definitely need to think about it, this color is not longer offered, I been dreaming since the Acura integra and the Subaru Baja, (even the nissan frontier on some kind of yellow) for a vehicle in this color, I wouldn't trade my color for none other.

Just a lil advice, if you get the cyber orange take care of the paint, even a lil scratch is pain in the a$$ to match the paint, is a tri-color thing, plus depending on the weather +humidity etc can change a lot, even if everything is perfect it won't match easily according to two paint guys that I talked before.

Just go to the mall, gas station or any parking lot and 80-90% or more of the cars are black,white or grey, may be 10% blue and red and others, cyber orange or color close to mine are lest than .1% and i love that.

For reference I leav

That's what retro stripes are for. Fixing paint issues.

a bottle jack in my experience is quite a bit slower and its tippy which can be dangerous on uneven ground. thank you for your reply just the same!

I had replied to the original OP, earlier in this thread.
But, now I have to update that...
I just posted a new Thread on the use of the compact jacks.

Put a couple of 2x6 blocks to use as a stable base.

yes obviously hence the reason i added the word "cleaver"

Not many options besides the pickup bed. If it's a matter of speed, you can adapt a scissor jack to your impact driver and keep the driver battery plugged in to your outlet. Zips up and down pretty quickly, but you will need to keep an eye on the threads for signs of wear.
