The National Seashore requires vehicles carry a piece of plywood to act as a base for a jack. This base puts plywood to shame. The jack won't slip off, the base is heavy plastic so it won't rot or break. And you can't get slivers from it.

I got the Off-Road Base so the jack wouldn't sink out of sight in soft ground.

Upon receiving this extended base, I had 2nd thoughts about really needing it. I had an occasion to use it recently and found that it's sturdy, light weight, and stabilizes the jack much more than the foot on the jack itself. The base is easy to clean. I also found the Orange color kept me front leaving it behind. I do wish the pocket the jack rests in was true to the size of the jack...too much space around the jack, and that the pocket was a little deeper. Other than those 2 issues, the extended base is a great accessory to have along for your jack.

This is a must have to add to your recovery gear. When you go out there in an all terrain area, you just never know what to expect, so grab one if you don't have it, especially when its been raining and it's muddy :)

This cost $30 more than a piece of 2x12" scrap wood. Take a trip to the lumbar yard first. Think about it...

I got my FJ60 high centered on a rock in a dried out stream bed. With this base I was able to jack up the side of the FJ in the sand with ease and safely. Highly recommend.

As the earlier reviews stated, its basically indispensable. It even comes with a place to tie a line so you can retrieve out of the mud or sand when you're done. It beats wood and does the job.

This is an accessory that is really necessary for safety! It, or something similar, should be included with the base unit. At $35.00 it is a RIP OFF! You're paying more than half the price of an all-steel jack for a piece of plastic. I'm sure it's durable but the company should be ashamed of itself for charging so much extra for a safety item. Quite a few years ago, a "lift" jack was included with new cars and they included a large metal base that provided the extra stability this item provides at an extra charge.

Im very pleased with my puchase, it's exactly what I expected and saved a few bucks in the process. The item arrived promtly and it great shape.

I never have to use this for myself........It's always my friends who need it! It is a must for wheeling when you never know what the conditions may be like. It's durable and makes it much safer .

Havent had to use this base but I glad I have on hand for 4 wheeling if you have a hi lift jack you should have this as well
