I thought everybody carried a fence post and a length of chain in the boot.

When I owned WW2 American army trucks years ago I relied on a modern bottle jack to lift them, but the trucks are solid enough to employ such a method as shown due to their proper steel channel frames/bumpers. Never came across such an instruction in any of the official military manuals though. Military procedures are expected to be adhered to, even in times of conflict, including instructions for the destruction of the vehicle.
Not sure a LR, with it's pressed frame (sometimes of uncertain steel quality) would stand up to it, especially once the 'worm' had got to it

It would never work... look at the picture on the post lift (bottom)... the average marine would look at that and go..... Why did we lift it up again the tyre is inflated lets drop it down again.When I owned WW2 American army trucks years ago I relied on a modern bottle jack to lift them, but the trucks are solid enough to employ such a method as shown due to their proper steel channel frames/bumpers.
