Anyone in here carry one in your truck? Was wondering if it will fit in the "toolbox compartment"?

I carry one in my M, it's in a tool box in the bed, so yes it should fit in the under bed tool box.

I carry a Hi-Lift X-Treme 60" jack in the tool box under the bed.

They are the only way to go for hooking/unhooking trailers without a lot of back damage.

Bought mine from Menard's a year or so ago. $40 some bucks. Hope I never need it but it's like a
pocket knife. You'll never get a chance to use it if you don't have one.

They are great jacks, just make sure to respect it, it can and will hurt you if you give it a chance. Keep it clean and lubricated and do not use it with the handle just stuck in the jack mechanism ( use a cotter pin, clip of some sorts to keep it in place) it will come out and fly around with incredible force. Don't ask how I know just trust me

I have them on my Jeeps that I go fourwheeling with, my vehicle hauler, at work to jack, push, pull , and pry with. When I get my m37b1 done, I will have a spot for one hidden in the tool box area too.

I tried the standard length one on my M37. Didn't raise the wheel off the ground at full height. Speaks to a very compliant and well-engineered suspension.

ps...never could see the need for a "posi-trak"differential because of this.
