As you look at the Surf from the front, when jump starting, which battery would you use to help someone out? Meaning is there a right battery to use, & if you use the wrong one, do you do damage to your own?

You should use starter pack.
Use whatever battery is most convenient. Positive to positive and negative on the donor car to the engine block (not the battery(although very few people do it this way, it is the correct way)) on your truck.Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

Originally posted by breakdowntruck2 View Postits not so much that,its the spike u get from disconnecting and the alternator kickin in on donor car,most newer cars have smart charge alternators,ie u jump start a flat battery,and disconnect the jump pack or leads straight away,and the alternator will bug 16/17v round the system,s if u jump start a newer car,let the donor battery equalise,ie leave leads on for atleast 5 mins
thats what i said私のホバークラフト は鰻が一杯です。

The ecu on the car giving the jump start can be damaged.
As long as the alternator is working into a load (a battery which isn't f*cked open circuit) you'll be OK. When jump starting, you're running into two batteries so there shouldn't be an issue.
If you somehow disconnect the battery when the alternator is supplying high current into a flat battery, you can get a phenomena called a 'load dump transient' which can be anything up to a few hundred volts for a few milliseconds, which could damage sensitive electronics.
However, the above can be mitigated by leaving the leads connected with both engines running for a few minutes.
I know this because I test it as part of Def-Stan 61-5 Part 6 (automotive power systems) so dont argue!Cutting steps in the roof of the world
