Hi Guys,
I recently bought a 97' SWB V6 3000. Its my first 4x4 and I thoroughly enjoy the vehicle. I took the vehicle on sand recently (for the first time ever) and did most things right like deflating the tyres etc. I did go abit too wild on cornering in the sand, and after inflating to correct pressure and returning home - found the vehicle with a flat the next morning(de-rimming?). So looked for the jack and found this skinny hydraulic jack that seems to maybe do the job on a brick! It does have an aerial extension but mine failed the moment it it started bearing weight - probably old age with with brittle internal seals. Anyway I thought it is a pathetic little jack and took a chance and just pumped up the tyre - still on the vehicle with my little electric pump. Problem solved. I would like to know where I can find a better jack for the SWB? I would not like anything big and long rolling around in the back like a high lift jack... What about them inflatable jacks you get that you attach to the exhaust and raiges the vehicle in any terrain?
Hope you guys can help, and thanks.

If most of your offroading is sand then an air jack is probably your best bet (Takla is one of the best). That being said there's nothing wrong with a decent bottle jack upgrade with a proper platform. The main problem is the reach...
Then again air jacks are bulky and take up a lot of space. And are not especially stable.
I'm still fan of a HiLift... but that's just me. But it does require proper jacking points. If not, go for an air jack.

Hi
I recently bought a 97 2.8 diesel swb which I enjoy very much. Also just have this bottle jack which I do not trust much. Can I get "points" fitted in order to use a high lift jack.
Thanks

Being a 97 would make it a gen2 and there is good and not so good news, The not so good is that the correct hi lift points for pajero is not freely available but it is not too difficult to build a set yourself.
