I have a jackall jack already but was thinking about caring a aluminum floor jack. Does anyone do this, if so do you have it on a bracket and where do you store it?

Thanks

hey chris, i have considered carry one too but, i'm already so tight on room that i wouldn't know where to store it. I carry a 12 ton bottle jack instead in the rear cubby along with some pieces of 2x4 and, they have always served me well on the trail.

Eddie space is my main concern as well.
Thanks

I got rid of my scissor jack awhile ago and just use this now. The 12 ton bottle jack goes pretty tall and the blocks of wood give me more options.

I would do this, but I think I would miss the way my Jeep sways back and forth when lifted with the scissors...seriously, this is a good suggestion. I'm getting a bottle jack.

LOL at the swaying scissor jack. not so bad when stock but totally useless when trying to lift a 2,000 lb heavier vehicle even on stable ground.

i carry 4 pieces of cut down 2x4 blocks with my bottle jack and this allows me to make a wider base if on soft sand, stack them if needed to go taller and even position one vertically you need to get to a higher spot. it's really quite versatile and so much so that i can't even recall the last time i've used a hi-lift on the trail.

I carry a floor jack in the cargo space currently, but I too would like to get it out of there. I was at the Henderson 250 tech inspection yesterday checking out some of the trophy trucks and was spying some mounting ideas since they all carry an aluminum floor jack mounted somewhere on their race rigs.

One spot I'm looking at is where the stock exhaust is. Once I free that space up with a new exhaust it looks like it will be a good spot to weld in some tabs to mount it to.
