We know all about utes here and we're jealous. :P Well... most of us anyway.

I should look at spending on a proper racing jack, and maybe welding some little flat plates under the car along that pinch-weld area and marking them with arrows on the rocker panel so I can just shove the jack under and pump 3 times and be done.
I have been pretty happy with my harbor freight 3ton steel jack. It's a bit bulky but not terrible and it goes up pretty quick. I never bother with checking the pinch welds or using an adapter. I just try to center the jack on them and lift. Haven't bent one on the Zs yet.
