Claim:
A traction jack apparatus, comprising: a first plate, wherein said first plate comprises a rigid and rectangular surface capable of supporting said vehicle, wherein said first plate is permanently covered in an anti-slip, high traction surface with a high coefficient of friction for frictional engagement with said tire of said vehicle; a second plate attached to said first plate via a rounded hinge assembly wherein said rounded hinge assembly provides a rotational range of motion and articulated adjustability between said first plate and said second plate for positioning said traction jack between a tire of a vehicle tire and a surface; and a vehicle jack attached to said first plate and said second plate, wherein said vehicle jack contacts a surface of said second plate when said vehicle jack is extended, wherein said vehicle jack extends an angle between said first plate and said second plate from a closed position to a partially-opened position or a fully-opened position to provide a ramp to assist said tire of said vehicle when said tire of said vehicle is stuck on said surface.
