Hi folks,
I need a jack to carry in the Landy, does anyone know if the "farmers jack" I see around works ok? I have seen one for £25.
Or can any recommend a cost effective solution?

Hi Steve-O,
I have a High lift jack for my 90 with the adaptor for Landrovers I have found it to be ideal for the job in hand, BIG D
I have a samson "farmers jack and whilst I have used it a few times I wouldn't recommend em to the uninitiated. If you do want one, and they are great pieces of kit. Go for High-Lift or Jackall. Spend the extra your fingers, Jaw and arms are worth it.
A trick for jacking a stuck vehicle out the mud to get summat under the wheels is to have a short strap thru the spokes of the wheel and hook it over the foot of the jack. that way you lift the wheel up before the body starts to move.and get the full lifting capacity of the jack.
Thats a good trick red, a job for tomorrow.
Quite a few 4x4 places have started selling the strap some have an hook on each end for steel wheels that haven't got big enough holes to get a strap through.
Here ya go there's someone on Fleabay flogging one Genuine Hi lift Jack lift mate (lift on the wheel) high on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 06-Jul-08 09:34:40 BST)
