which jack?


Need advice on which jack set up to use on my buggy, i like those fancy king things but not spending a grand on a jack. Also fabricating my spare wheel mount and considering different options to use. confuse

We grabbed one of the hydraulic units from extreme. about 400 if memory serves and no need to rely on a charged rattle gun.

Also had a val or falcon ratchet jack recommended too. Lightweight, strong, easy to mount, easy to use, cheap... but very hard to find! We ended out witht he hydraulic jobbie just because we couldnt find one and ran out of time.
