What kind of jack do you carry in your XJ? (Not the OEM scissor crap)

even better than a bottle jack or floor jack. takes up very little space and absolutely no sweat lifting up the jeep.

This thread is quickly becoming more and more wonderful.
I have a 2 ton floor jack in my parts bin in the back, and two OEM bottle jacks (one from the XJ, the other from my old Bronco II) under the back seat. I prefer the floor jack, but the bottles are nice for stabilizing things if need be. They work in a pinch.

it's just a freakin jack man. just get one you are comfortable using.
if your jeep is lifted, then you will have to get creative.

have any of you guys changed a tire on your jeep? only time i used a hilift to change one was when i was on the trail, twisted up REAL bad, and blew a bead. even offroad, i use my bottle jack to change tires. even seen guys on 37s use em.

You guys realize you are recommending hi lift jacks for someone with no rocker protection or aftermarket bumpers, who just wants it to change out a tire on the side of the road? And who thinks the stock bottle jack is "too confusing and unstable"?
If he thinks a stock bottle jack is too confusing and unstable, he is in for a real treat if he tries to use a hi-lift. not to mention the lack of surface area to jack up from the stock pinch seam or bumpers without crushing them.

Postal worker would be fine(as far as the dog is concerned) LOL
But a cat? it would be all over
I don't have any problem with the high lift base. you have to use common sense when using a high lift. and many people lack common sense.
So I guess its not for everyone

im sure this is an older picture. but the more suspension droop you have, the sketchier the hi-lift gets to get the tire off the ground. I have to ratchet strap my axle to the body somewhere if i ever want to get my tires off the ground with a 48" hi lift.
and a 60" would just get real sketchy if actually used to lift the rig that high.
