Default 1998-2000 Wheel Jack

I realized my vehicle is missing the tire/wheel jack in the trunk... Would anyone be kind enough to take a picture of theirs so I know I'm buying the correct one to fit in properly where it belongs. I found some pictures from 90+ but none for 98+ and wanted to know if they were the same. I'm trying to keep the vehicle stock so would prefer to have the original one. I just need a picture to see what I'm missing... I do have the tool box on the side but don't have the actually jack or bar to turn it...

95-00 LS400s use the same JACK that was found in 93-04 Lexus GS300/400/430
the jack HANDLE is the same in all LS400s (89-00), LS430s, LS460s, 93-97 GS300s, and '91-00 SC3/400s.

obviously any jack/handle would work t olife the car, but these are the ones that would fit in the jack carrier in the trunk.

happy hunting.

Default pics

ok here we go:

jack and bar
1998-2000 Wheel Jack-iw8wy.jpg

here are some angles of the jack:

1998-2000 Wheel Jack-5gdzi.jpg


This is where the jack sits- there are two foam pads that I assume prevent noise. The jack mounts in place by turning the bolt on the jack which causes it to scissor open and wedge itself in the metal bracket:

The bar sits inside the foam around the spare:

and for good measure here is a pic of the tools (the missing one in my pic is a pen light)

hope this helps- i have a few more pics if you want to see something specific.

Honest and truly,,,, you can find these things in your local boneyard all day every day. Heck,, most Lexus owners never even knew where this stuff was even located,,,,and it will be CHEAP. LOL!!
