    Sorry that happened. I don’t mean to judge but watch out for that hi lift. I would open the door next time (just in the event something happens you don’t want to have strange damage to the door).

    A hi lift jack is not made for how you are using it, get yourself a proper jack to use when changing tires. You are using it in an unsafe manner.

    Huh? Not that hi lift jacks are safe to start with but as long as the slider is solid, I’m not seeing the issue. He’s jacking on the best possible surface. Maybe a little closer to the slider. If it were me, I’d have left the tire in and towed it.

    He's not wrong they are pretty dangerous, but also he has the tire under the slider which is basically the safety net. I personally use my hi lift to jack the vehicle by the wheel with the adapter, then use the bottle jack as a jack stand.

    They are dangerous if used incorrectly. That is why they have a bad wrap. It appears he used it properly. I only suggested he open the door in the event it slid I wouldn't want him to mess up his door. Otherwise he has a firm and solid foundation, he is on rock sliders in a good spot. So he is totally fine.

    I agree with you, I would use it like that, but I also use my bottle Jack as a life saver. I love my hi lift.

    I used mine to move a 20’ by 12’ shed. Learned from the people installing my shed as that is what they use. Darn thing is amazing! But gotta be careful!

    Odds are I didn't tighten the lug nuts enough after changing my rear brake pads last week. Two weeks ago I had my tires rotated, so maybe it is possible they torqued them too much. A couple days later I took a couple hard undercarriage hits on a 4Lo trail (Fordyce Trail). But it was my front skid taking the hits, so I don't think that was the problem. Last week I changed my rear brake pads. A couple days later it was feeling mushy, so I checked the lugnuts with my fingers and thought they were ok. So yeah, pretty sure it was me, FML. Good news is only damage was the wheel, which can be buffed out, lol, and the lug nuts.

    And thanks, everyone for the hi lift advice. They are dangerous, so it's good to refresh everyone's knowledge. The open door tip was new to me, but makes sense. And keep your body parts out of the "arc o' death." Also, the tow truck gave me a discount for taking the wheel off already. He used a 4x4 to get it on the truck.

    It's not us I'm worried about- it's the other knuckleheads. Be my luck I'd use the open door tip and get my door peeled by somebody on the phone. Grateful it looks like a side street vs. the interstate. Hats off to the tow company.

    Hi lift jacks are not safe. I said that in the beginning. Jacking a vehicle is not safe. But the way he is using the jack is about the safest way he could given he is taking the wheel off. Using your method, how would he get the wheel off?

    For those with lifted vehicles and larger tires, the standard bottle jack is not tall enough.

    I have a Tacoma on 35’s, lifted 4” in the rear. The bottle Jack is plenty tall enough for the axle. Again like I said, I use the bottle Jack as a Jack stand.

    I have also used the hi lift just like he is, and then I throw the bottle Jack under the axle for safety. Not that complicated, I’m comfortable using my hi lift for anything .

    I would like to have received one of those bottle jacks cause mine is not tall enough to lift my 2009 enough to get it off the ground.

    Please excuse my poor knowledge. If OP wants can use the stock jack without any wood or anything right? (Yes OP used hi-lift jack and I have no problem with it as I don't feel scared doing that). Rear axle is the jack point and stock jack is tall enough correct? Again sorry about my poor knowledge and I'm trying to under stand why everyone looking for aftermarket bottlejack vs I don't need anything else with my lift + 285/70R17 tires.

    Kmeeg, you can use Hi-Lift jack like that but on rocks or soft soil you are risking door damage if jack slips. If I may, tip: open the door in the spot where you placing the jack, if it falls - damage will be limited if any to interior trim and a hell a lot less costly than the door.

    Have you thought about upgrading? Or if the damage is just the cover, you may be able to get just the cover.

    Unfortunately it’s not. The cover is fine, puddle lights and turn signal are fine. It’s the housing that broke. The mirror is also fine. It’s 100% livable but still, I don’t like broke stuff on my 4R.
