Reply With QuoteFor the D4, I had an adapter for the bottle jack. Made by someone's son on this forum. I guess it might be best to do the same for the D5.

Hi All,
Absolute rookie question here. I want to carry a bottle jack and use when appropriate instead of the standard jack that comes with the d5. The bottle jack does not sit safely on the standard jack lugs and I am unsure where else to place it. See pics below. Can I use a bit of timber across the areas marked with the question mark and set the bottle jack against that?

Pic two is in front of the back wheel.

Thanks Ron.

It was a 3d printed one, the thread is here and has a drawing what it looked like on page 1. Needless to say the D4 adaptor isn't going to fit the D5, but the thread might give you an idea how it was done,

Thanks Ron. Appreciate you going back and finding the thread and looks like a good solution. I found this off the shelf adapter which solves the problem nicely.

I put mine under the axle, but that's on a Defender, of course, so different.

Bugger! At 32mm it won't fit my bottle jack from the D3/4 days which is 40mm.

can anyone recommend a good bottle jack. I am hearing different things re different size etc.. Just wondering what works best.

SubscriberI use the Bushranger Exhaust Jack.
It works anywhere, even under a LC200 with a camper on behind on the side of a mountain swinging from the winch of my D5.
