I am in the process of putting some tie downs in and it just dawned on me that this is probably not the default location for this thing. If I am correct then please tell me where it belongs.

Has anyone used this, and does it work well, or would I be better off with some better wheel chocks, I have been looking at picking up a couple. Sorry James, didn't mean to tack on or steal the thread, but I am just curious.   Tom Fioretti (Tom_in_md) Member Username: Tom_in_md Post Number: 182 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 09:11 am:    Joey, I've had my D1 for 8 years and never used the chock or the jack. I've always used other jacks. Original probably doesn't even work now..I guess now's a good time to go check it out..   eduardo (Jmonsrvr) Member Username: Jmonsrvr Post Number: 126 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 10:28 am:    every time you jack up your truck you should use the wheel chock...if you jack up the rear put the chock in the front. its to prevent accidental rolling. also if you are jacking up for example the left rear put the chock on the front right tire...cheers
