Great, thanks for the advice and feedback, I'll make some calls in the morning and do a trip into city on weekend if one of the offroad stores stocks the adapter. Looks like I have some experimenting to do. Be nice if I can find a suitable axle stand, as well as one of those plastic bases; ideally stuff that'll fit into my drawers keeping it all secure and accessible.
That is exactly what I do and it works perfectly. Much easier than crawling around in the dirt or mud positioning a bottle jack.Quote:

I was about to post just such a thread as this.
I too need to get a jack for my 130 Ute as I just don't have one that works
Mine chassis is a few inches higher than standard I think.
Mainly I need something so that I can change wheels by the side of the road in case of a flat.
So specific suggestions are welcome and ideally with links please :)
I’m purchasing one of these to carry in my PT1 military trailer.
Absolutly brilliant by all accounts.
‘Until then, I use an ARB Jack and an Air bag air Jack as my 110 is so high.
No issues to date.

Super awesome and also super expensive !
Yep, expensive but serious quality and if it gets you off the side of the track with minimal swearing and sweat, it’s worth the money!
Also doubles in the garage. It’s a better option than my ARB Jak in retrospect and same money, I wish I’d have known last year.
For someone starting out or revamping their garage and recovery gear, this is a great option, replace a high lift Jack, garage trolley at the same time for say $400 more from good quality gear.
Why make life hard if you can get the money together?

Not sure you’ll find a suitable Jack to Jack from chassis…….Quote:

I have a Nissan wind up Jack….bit more effort involved but does the job.
Do you intend to lift the whole car off the ground ?Quote:
