    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.

    Maybe a simple option is to carry and axle stand and just use the hi-lift and wheel adapter lift mate for the up and down operation only. I guess what worried most about using hilift was the thought of it supporting weight whilst changing tyre
    That is exactly what I do and it works perfectly. Much easier than crawling around in the dirt or mud positioning a bottle jack.

    Trolley jack ftw

    I carry a small-medium size trolley jack everywhere in place of a bottle jack. So much easier and as has been commented no need to crawl around under the vehicle. It fits under the rear seat in my 110 300Tdi.

    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

    Pro Eagle Trolley Jack.

    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.

    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…….

    To date I’ve never needed anything more than jacking from under the diff.

    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 ?
