I recently was at a gas station and a guy with a Jeep Liberty asked me to borrow my jack to take off his wheel spacers cause he was getting bad vibes from the front end. All I have is my hi lift and it was about to rip off his running boards. There wasn't anything I could do to help him. Why wouldn't you keep at least a bottle jack in your jeep??

There is a 'wheel lift' attachment for a Hi-lift. Lift the wheel and chock the axle.
It comes in handy in other instances also because you do not have to lift 5" of suspension travel before the wheel comes off the ground.
edit; You don't keep a 2-Ton bottle jack in your rig? They can be invaluable, one that can be used in any position is the key. The standard ones can only be used upright.

That's pretty cool. I should invest in one of those until I get some rock sliders.

My factory fog switch is hooked up to some cheap running lights. The switch acts up and sometimes flashes people lol. I kept wondering why people were high beaming me.
