How're you lifting your 4runner? Ramps or floor jack + jack stands?

If it’s any help, I used the standard rhino ramps to do an oil change and had no issue with it.

After seeing your pictures, I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a set of plastic ramps. Once I get a jack and jack stands, I’ll start doing my own oil changes. Thanks!

I use the Harbor Freight Daytona jack with Husky 6T jack stands.
For oil changes, I use the Pittsburgh creeper to slide under and remove the skid plate.
I use the jack to lift at the front crossmember to put the skid plate back.

For tire rotations, since I rotate in the spare, I only need to jack at each corner to lift that wheel at a time. Hope that gives you some ideas

I figure that a 1.5ton floor jack would be more than enough to lift one corner for quick single tire change but are 1.5ton jacks enough to lift either front or rear to raise both wheels, or is a 3ton floor jack preferred?

I've used this Badlands 1.5T in the garage to lift one end. Loaded with features and works well. It also goes offroad so I won't need a scissor jack. Pic is from when I bought it when I had a Ranger before that was traded in for our ORP. Good Trade!!

I put mine up this weekend to do a little work that required pulling tires. I just use my bottle jack that I bring off roading. I don’t have enough space in my garage to work effectively with a floor jack.

I just slide under it for fluid changes. Not at 5k mi yet for my first rotation!

Thanks. I was looking at the Badland 1.5T and also looking at the Eagle Talon 1.5T since that one can be attached to my rear swing out hitch. I actually think they are both made by the same OEM.

Same here. I have never understood ramping a high clearance vehicle for an oil change. When i rotate, getting the back end on stands looks easy. Not sure about the front yet. Probably one corner at a time like my Silverado.
