Exactly what my wife did. I would assume LR Assist would also be an option, although is probably NRMA anyway.

I had a flat and rang LR assist - bad back :( That said, if I was away from an urban area I would probably do it myself to save time and just put up with the consequences

The guy wasn't from NRMA. Can't remember the name on the side of his car but it wasn't specifically LR assist.

This is the consequences of the factory jack.. (when it buckles and drops the vehicle onto the rim)

Resurrecting this older thread. ;)
What was the final outcome of the "Jack" situation?


Hmmm, not sure how that worked,, I was missing quite a few posts,,,

I purchased a 2 stage from Blackwoods and carry that...

It took 2 trolley Jacks, a Digger and his minion and the Defender jack to sort mine out.

This one looks like it should work then.. Although it may end up being 10mm too high i'm thinking i'll keep the LR scissor in the car too in case i need to get it started with that... $125

That one is pretty huge Russ and the 2t version actually has better extension anyway.
Refer earlier in this thread ..... 2t version:
https://www.blackwoods.com.au/part/0...escopic-hyd-2t

Comparison:
Capacity (kg) 2000 > 10000
Height Max (mm) 418 > 473
Height Min (mm) 181 > 240
Stroke (mm) 201 > 153
Mass (kg) 5.7 > 8.1

Cheers,
Scott

Ah crap i already ordered. Will try swap. Thanks Scott

I'm slowly getting my D4 ready for an outback trip - hopefully next year. A few people have told me they have moved away from high lift jacks, as there heavy and dangerous - with most turning to exhaust jacks.


Question is, can you use an exhaust jack for a simple wheel change ( say flat tyre ) on a bitumen or dirt road ? Are they relatively easy to use ?


Any comments or feedback on exhaust jacks and their limitations appreciated !
