Type Jack for 97' SWB?
Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 10:30 pm
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.
