Hi-Jack Accessories Question
 

I have been lucky so far by not having a flat on a trail ride but it is
going to happen at some point. I have my Hi-Jack, lug wrench and spare tire
onboard and ready for the occasion. Should I be carrying anything else to
change a tire? Are any of the Hi-Jack accessories a must have? Thanks!

No, just keep your chin out of the "Hi-Jack" handle's line of fire!

You might want a hydraulic jack for tire changes.

That 'widow maker' has no business being anywhere near a Jeep with a
flat tire. Now maybe to jack it up and push it over a rock or something
you might have use for the thing, but 'never' use it when you have to
get under the Jeep in any way.

The handle on it makes an OK breaker bar if the wheel lugs are stuck
on, I have used one that way on a tire change.

I have a cheap hydraulic floor jack and it fits tight in behind the
passenger seat.

Good advice, I once used one to lift my YJ while it was in the garage, it
suddenly slipped to one side and fell off the Hi-Lift and nearly took out
the wall. Fortunately the tire was still on.

FWIW, I was going to toss the YJ's original scissor jack that's mounted
under the hood. However, even though I'm running 35's it can still provide
enough lift to get a fully inflated tire off the ground.
