So, my only quetion is: Do you think it would be possible to fit two jacks in there? Otherwise, looks pretty slick. Mine are a bit clunky and an eyesore just chilling back behind the seats.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

I thought about putting the wrenches in the hidden compartment or using the tool tray that came with it by cutting it in half so it might fit above jack but the noise of the wrenches banging around made me think twice about doing that. Right now...as you see in the one photo with everything loaded in the box...it is pretty darn quiet when shaking the case by hand (put a bag of latex gloves in the hidden compartment to keep the jack handles quiet!).

"Thanks guys for the idea of what jack to buy. I wasn't able to get it from any of my local TSC stores though. Couldn't order it from their website either. Wound up googling for it and found it on a website specializing in tools. (either advance auto or autozone shows it but not available )"
So Roger, who has the jack available today?
Thanks, Roy

This was the ONLY place I was able to find it including eBAY. It says on their site availabe at PeP Boys, Kragen, Shucks, etc.. Maybe you'll have better luck at those places but I struck out! I even tried to get Tractor Supply in two different cities to order it for me...they couldn't get it and T.S. internet site says not available for purchase on internet! I tried local Pep Boys..no luck either.

I have a pair of the jacks with the built in stands, great for the garage, horrible for the trail/carrying around everyday, they weigh a ton and would disappear into the mud/sand, I got them at Harbor Freight. For everyday/trail, I am using the Titan 3 ton exhaust jack, as far as holes, its made of the same material they make rigid hull inflatables out of and the hoses are fire hoses, so pretty puncture proof, but thanks to the genius of Riffraff, don't worry about holes, that's why we have floor mats. I have a double set, nice thick rubber ones to sit on top of the carpeted ones. Put the floor mat between the ground and the bag and voila, that makes it pretty much puncture proof. I can lift the Vx from any angle, on top of just about any terrain, and it works great if you get in a tight spot to protect the body from rocks. It weighs about 5lbs or so, comes in a real nice storage bag with laminated instructions, I swapped the bag to a better Craftsman bag, so now I can use the bag as a protector for the jack as well. Plus it looks nicer than the green bag it came with.
Just my 2 cents...
I keep the whole thing inside the spare tire well with the 5gal gas can and recovery gear...
