Re: jack where
I have an older design Durango rear bumper & tire carrier with an upright Hi
Lift mount. I'm not sure why I haul this thing around, haven't used it for years. I kept the old scissor jack under the hood, which seems to work just fine in nearly any circustance, even with 35's. I pulled the old Hi Lift off a few weeks ago to help some folks out on the trail and it was frozen stiff! We had to soak it in WD40 and beat on it with a hammer to break it loose. Got a new one and threw the old one into the tool crib, a candidate for the swap meet maybe?

Re: jack where
I have a small hydraulic floor jack in both of my Jeeps. In my CJ7 if
fits really nice and solid behind the passenger seat and the Cherokee has a pile of room under the back seat where the stock jack is. This is for tire changes and jacks under the axle. You 'Cannot' safely change a tire with a barn lifting jack like a High lift or Jack all. Then under the passenger seat I carry a wire spool hand winch sometimes called a 'Come-A-Long' for moving when the wheels won't. I have a power winch on front, but carry the manual one anyway. Power things break. Mike William Oliveri wrote: > > Ok, Mike. I was considering outfitting my jeep with one of these. You say > save your money.

Re: jack where
See when wheel,I like to carry my high lift jack because most of the time
it's alot simpler to use to lift a tire to put something under ,most of the time it's all you need to get unstuck.
