Nah start with the jack first! Baby steps!! You can always back out before you purchase the Tacoma. Just like you buy the eggs before you buy the frying pan! 😂
Great review and video Chloe! One thing I might recommend is if you are keeping the jack in your truck for potential offroad recovery, you may want to also keep the c-clip pliers that it came with & some spare c-clips on hand (theyre easy to lose). You may encounter unsteady ground that isnt ideal for the jack to be sitting on its wheels when performing an off-road repair/recovery, and may want to utilize the flat "skid plate" bottom of the jack (a flat piece of board/plate to distribute the weight might be handy too). Having the c-clip pliers and some spare clips (incase you misplace one or three) will be an easy lifesaver, and a good thing to add to an in-truck recovery kit or tool kit. p.s. as others have mentioned, I couldnt tell if your driveway is sloped, but Wheel-chocks or something to chock the wheel might be a good idea for next time. Hope all is well, and that Cody is watching closely so he can be in charge of tire-repairs on the trail! 😛😁 Cheers!
Great vid... I take a bottle jack with me when I off road and bring a square piece of ply wood for a base. It works perfect. Oh and a shovel is an essential
I have watched some of your videos off line and you have grown into me liking you as a person, besides you sort of remind me of my daughter, lol. Your little dog is so cute and your video was awesome! :) I just bought a 2009 2nd generation Taco TRD Sport and I love it, except that it is not a 4x4 with a 6 foot bed, which is my dream truck. I have begun doing some mods on my truck and will continue until I built it to my liking. Thank you for your fun video, keep it up. I am subscribing and giving you a thumbs up! Peace.
Thank you for the video and review. You answered 90% of my questions about the Pro Eagle Jack right off the bat, that’s exceptional. Thank you again.....
thanks so much, really wanted to see a vid like this of someone handling the jack right out of the box and putting to use, very undecided if I wanted to invest in one with a view to packing and traveling with because of the size, also on the fence between 1.5 and 2t but seeing you effortlessly lift the tacoma makes me pretty confident the 1.5 will suffice and also not as bulky as I feared .
i like the extension. i use a harbor freight racing jack on a custom skid for offroad and what not.. i dont offroad much but its been a great thing to have in my tundra to fix flats and what not for others. (and farm equipment stuff). Onboard air is my next thing for my tundra. my poor taco doesnt see the road let alone offroad till its Resto is done lol
Thank you for the information, I am definitely going to get that Jack. The way you carry that jack like it’s a pillow, I believe I should not have a problem even after both of my shoulders got surgery.
I saw you re review few mounts ago, and now I make my choice to take off my Hi Lift Jack, and use This one the 1.5 ton Pro Eagle Jack... ( I have the same truck, and same color than you re) . I like the Hi Lift, but the Pro Eagle, are more safe. And easy to use. Thank again for you re Chanel you make a good review. Have fun take care 👍👍👍
Really is a nice Jack or it’s better used in your garage there referral far better options for off-roading . There are bottle jacks more than capable of lifting your truck they will be smaller lighter more compact and easier to get under your truck in awkward trail positions would also take up less space in your off-road recovery kit. There is an exhaust jack not exactly my favourite but it is easy to get under the truck no matter what situation you’re in. There is the ARB hydraulic jack This is a good Jack as it does require a lot of muscle to lift your vehicle and can also be used to take your tires off your rims offering a second function to the Jack. However the highlift Jack is probably the most common out of all Jack’s for off-road use this Jack requires respect in its application as it can be dangerous to use. However it is more than a jack it really is a multi tool I am for this reason is why it ends in most peoples recovery kit. It can be used in some bumpers that have highlift Jack points it can also be fastened to your rock sliders you can buy tools to add to it where you can connected to your wheels and lift the wheel straight up putting traction boards under without having to dig them in. God for bid if a vehicle rolled over and you had to open a door I’ll push steering wheel back off of somebody this can be used has a spreader to push back the metal. It also works as a winch even though people have a winch on their vehicle this is a winch that doesn’t require any form of power other than the power in your body so it works good as a back up. You can also fasten the chain to it and use it as a drag device to pull obstacles out of the road like falling trees or large rocks. This is why the highlift Jack is mostly used by off-road‘s because it serves a multitude of functions. It just requires a little bit of knowledge practice and common sense when using it. I have seen a great many people use it on there rock sliders without the connection piece to make it safer now you can do this but there’s a chance to Jack will kick in and possibly damage your door panel or smash your window. To avoid this from happening I would recommend before jacking up you want in your door this way if the jack is the kick it will fall into the empty space of your truck doing next to no damage little tips like this when using these off road recovery gear is smart to learn it will save you money and possibly and more importantly an injury. We all like to go out and play but there’s no reason why we shouldn’t make it home with all our fingers and toes.
Sold here too! I no lie literally got a flat on my new 2020 Tacoma running over large screw and the stock Jack was worthless! I felt like I almost dislocated my shoulder trying to lift the truck so to barely put the spare tire on.
Don't forget jack stands whenever you are underneath your truck. Also, keep in mind that as you mod your truck with bumpers, bigger wheels/tires, skid plates, you'll be adding more and more weight. Nice truck! Keep up the great work!
I'm not sold on that jack. As you have to beable to get to the jack points. If your stuck that might not be possible. Which is why I've been thinking about sliders and farm jack adapter.
What’s a readonable priced alternative for this? The 1.5T is nearly $500. I keep a Hi-Lift in the back for trails but I’m looking for something a bit more stable for at-home use. My old 2T doesn’t have the height I need with oversized tires and 3-4” suspension lift.
Nice truck, I got a $100 jack from Costco, it works pretty well for my LX470 I just use it to rotate the tires and change the brakes, ⚠️please get some expansive quality jack stands & for redundancy place the tire under the frame too! Nice truck 👍 I ways love the look of Taco just a bit too small for me couldn’t stretch my legs far enough, have fun!
Thank you for posting. Drive safe. Hello to your puppy. Might be a good idea to chock other wheels. I've heard that if transmission slips out truck will not be able to roll.
Hi Chole, I am looking for a Tacoma TRD Off-road. If you do not mind, can you provide a run-down on your TRD off road configuration (like 4x4? cloth seat, any add-on optional packages, etc?
Sure! Mine is a 2019 3.5L V6 4x4 TRD Off-Road in silver sky metallic. It came equipped from the factory with the tech package (blind spot monitors, parking sensors) and had BFGoodrich KO2 tires, 4Runner TRD Pro wheels, a TRD Pro Skid Plate, NFab round tube steps, all weather floor mats, door sill protectors, chrome tailgate badging and a chrome exhaust tip added to it at the dealership level. I don’t have a comprehensive list of everything I’ve added on to it but I’ve pretty much documented my build completely on this channel. Hope this helps and good luck in your search for a Tacoma!
Pretty good there girl. I would only worry about the wheel of that jack breaking....what are they made of as most jacks like that have metal wheels for safety/durability?
Definitely need to get that I hate using the jack that come with the truck I've had it slip on me before while changing a tire on the side of the road. It looks like would fit under the seat of the Tacoma too which is nice.
@ChloeKuo Now that you’ve had the 1.5 for a bit are you still happy with it. I’m debating on the 1.5 or 2 ton. I have a Tacoma with 3 in lift and 35” tires.
Quick question! Since you have the jack on hand. My tacoma is lifted about 3 inches front and rear. Would the 8 inch extension work or should i just get the 15 inch version just to be safe?
Thanks! I have the OEM Tacoma bed mat (rubber material) so that things don't slide around. Without it, stuff definitely slides around with just the composite bed lol.
I have a 2.5 lift and 32 tires which is alitte more weight than you have on your taco. Also have alot of gear in the back of my taco. Do think the 1.5 ton will still work for me?
It depends- you probably will only lift one corner at a time, instead of the whole or half of the truck at a time, so if the jack can comfortably support that weight, then you should be fine. If you’re worried about height, they have a jack extension you can easily add on 🙂
@@ChloeKuo Thanks so much for getting back with me about the pro eagle jack. Thanks for doing this video. You did very good work with it. You have a great channel. I subscribe to your channel. I have a RUclips channel too. I have not done anything with it for over a year. Keep up the good work 🙂
Too large to keep in the truck all the time, but would be good to keep in the garage. I'm sure it costs a pretty penny too. My truck didn't come with the standard jack, so I had to buy a replacement. I went with a bottle jack that came with two jack stands. The bottle jack fits perfectly in the cubby of the truck bed 👍
Nerf round step bars, although I don't recommend them because I've had them on for a year and there's a lot of surface rust. Will probably rip them off and get sliders!
Damn you see the price for this!! Well if you can afford a land cruiser you can afford a higher rating one of this brand but over $300 for a 1.5 ton is out of my price range hahaha
Good video I’ve heard people complain about these jacks I don’t know why it looks like a good jack. Anybody have some input Chloe I just subscribed to your channel keep the videos going.
@@ChloeKuo HI Ms. Chloe! I was about to ask you if you keep this jack in your truck, so you won't have to use the jack that came with it. Thanks young lady for your videos.

Everytime you safely jack up a vehicle is to install chucks in front and back of the stationary tire !
Dayum you strong, picked up that jack like it was a pillow 😆 I need that extension piece, my jack barely lifts my 4Runner to rotate my 33s.

Well, it's over 300.00 so I'll save your video and click the link to buy the jack next week
Carrying tire plugs and a Compressor in the truck would solve the problem
@@Mark32500 hole was too big. I ran over a huge bolt/ screw that they use for oil pipes going over 60mph. Even my mud flap broke off.
Gotta give you props, good videos and content and don't have to be half naked to get views. Keep up the good work.
Just what I have been thinking about getting. Great timing!
Just ordered one from Pro Eagle with the 8" extension. The 1.5 Ton Big Wheel Off Road Jack is now available with either one.
Don't forget jack stands whenever you are underneath your truck. Also, keep in mind that as you mod your truck with bumpers, bigger wheels/tires, skid plates, you'll be adding more and more weight. Nice truck! Keep up the great work!
4years later... still recommend it or is the badlands the go to?
I'm not sold on that jack. As you have to beable to get to the jack points. If your stuck that might not be possible. Which is why I've been thinking about sliders and farm jack adapter.

I’ll keep my harbor freight tools aluminum jack , still working great all these 8 years
Good explanation. Love the dog!
Hay I'm getting started in overloading your video was very helpful thank yoy
Why did you not use the 15" extension? Will it not fit. I can't decide on the 8 or 15 " extension. My jeep gladiator is on 35s but not lifted.
I have a low profile jack made of aluminum which can jack up to 3 ton for 300 buck from northern tools weights like 15 lbs only
Thanks so much! That is exactly what I have been looking for.
Give me all information about the best shocks from fox service center bye thanks
You mite want to chock your wheels as well it could fall . And question I have is where are you storing it when you don't need it ?

Luv ur vids. Keep up the good work. Luv from the South.
Great video and great review. Thanks.
The Tacoma is cool af
Another great video!
Nice job. People really overestimate the Jack capacity they need to lift their vehicles.
Just as an extra precautionary step, add a rubber wheel chock especially if your lifting it on an uneven surface. Very informative video. 🤙🏼

I'm super jealous of your jack
whacky pax chill 💀

@@ChloeKuo hahaha nice it is a must have
Will this work on a 3in lift jeep wrangler?
Lifting the truck : *no no no not now guys*
Getting lifted jack : *oh yeeeeah*
The 1.5 will lift BOTH wheels off the ground at once to rotate tires Too!

Do you have a lift kit installed on your tacoma or is this stock height?
Back on this video, stock suspension. Now, fox 2.5 in front and rear, with the front coils adjusted to level out the truck
@@ChloeKuo what size tires did you had with stock suspension? Are these TRD Pro wheels?
Very nice. I need to get one myself. Will have to check if that size would work for a F150. Have a great evening 😊
Your door lines, are where you should place the jack under neath.
1.5 ton is more expensive than the 2, 3 ton jacks?
Have you used this when your off roading? I’ve been thinking about getting one of these type or a bottle jack.
I haven't needed it off-roading yet, but I always bring it with me!
What kind of running board/step is that?
Nerf round step bars, although I don't recommend them because I've had them on for a year and there's a lot of surface rust. Will probably rip them off and get sliders!

Y lo ve
Thanks great information
Where do you store it or mounted?
Pro Eagle sells a mount for it, but I’m working on building one myself. When I go off road, I usually just put it in the bed for now
Bruh! Dats the jack I want lol, looks solid 👌👌
the wells looks so cheap. It looks like the jack will roll. lol. Has it ever roll on you? How safe is it reallY?
I won't lie, I watched to see the girl lift the truck but I really wanted to see more of the dog. Was that a little Maltese? They are the best.
He’s a Sheepadoodle (half old English sheepdog, half poodle). He’s awesome 😁
I almost thought she was gonna lift it for real 😔😢 lol. Awesome vid!
