1500lbs? What Lexus weighs even close to that???

 

Sc400 Curb weight, 3,485 lb

 

Thank You for all the replies, I am getting good ideas of things to have/buy!

 

None that I know of. Even the MKIV Supra and my LS430 came with the same wimpy jack.

Maybe if you stripped the interior of an old 1990 ES250, took off the wheels, and took out the engine it might weigh close to 1,500 lbs.....

 

When using an oem jack the weight should be distributed between 3 wheels on the ground and the jack in 1 corner, so its the curb weight divided by 4 which is less than 1,500.

 

one of these in every car i own...
very lite and very strong. also very low profile
lifts my truck with 20 plus inch wheels from the control arm with no effort or extras at all

I may get this jack!
Thanks!

 

I carry a little bag with fuses

 

Got those!
(crucial no doubt)

 

i got one of these from harbor freight. around 50 bucks i believe when i bought it.. wayyyy better than the kragen ones and its super light..


things to have

-jack
-tool box set
-rags/gloves
-clamps wires
-knife/lighter

sounds like alot but. i still have alooooot of space left.
never know when something can go wrong lol. i'm ready.

 

i know right super light is the word i have 3 jacks and 3 of these 130 piece tool sets 'el cheapo' for about 35 bucks (throw away the chinese ratchet) it beats driving around with a major tool set loading the vehicle down and will cover a lot of roadside quickie fixes.
when i get to the junk yard i just grab this.

all images will be huge...lol

 

I ordered the jack. I may have to move on the tools too. 35$ wtf??

 

^^^^ CHINA don't get me wrong it's not the best quality stuff but it will bail you out of a jam without having to have your major gear on hand.

 

No "Snap On" tools for the trunk in NYC ever. Chinese tools are perfect for the job.

Actually, I purchased some tools while in Shanghai 6-7 years ago. They are all still going strong.
The watches....... not so much ;-)

 

with 10 and 14mm GearWrench Ratcheting Wrenchs you can disassemble almost half car. Always carry some water and engine and steering oils too.
