Where does my jack mount???

I bought a 2002 regular cab ST diesel and the jack is missing. The tools are there behind the seat but I can't figure out where the jack mounts. Any help??? Oh and I need a jack if anyone has one.

There is a couple metal tabs there looks like maybe a rubber strap might hook to them.

That's it. You're missing the rubber strap.

Yes it is. The jack is just like this one on E-Bay.

That's the correct jack. You just need the rubber strap.

Thanks for the information, I guess I'll get a hydraulic jack to put behind the seat. The 12 ton sounds good, plenty of extra lifting power.
Thanks

A couple of months ago, I stopped to help a guy out with a flat. Good thing. He lost his factory jack and had a Walmart 1 ton floor jack. it wouldn't come close to lifting it. He also had a big 4 way and none of the ends fit. Bought me a burger for my troubles at the Roadhouse just outside of Bastrop. That was one gooood burger.

I carry a 20 ton hyd bottle jack for normal use, the factory jack for when it is too cold for the hyd one to work like most of the winter and a 4 foot jackall for stuck vehicles, Jack it up and push it off the jack sideways.

So, where can one get the factory tire iron...or I'll trade someone a regular 4-way for one? I had the same flat problem, nothing would fit, floor jack was junk and no spare(it was stolen). Drove home w/a dually tire installed backwards. Yea, it looked funny but hey, I was in a serious bind w/no way to get home. As a last resort it will work.
