Jiffy Jack

[JJZ 109]

If you have some cutoff framing material lying around anyway, and a box of screws, it's easy enough to throw something together.

If I was going to buy something, I could live with $30, but not $100, on my budget. Don't get me wrong OP, I like the look of aluminum just fine , and am not trying to tell you how to spend your money.... just adding :2cents: down your way, as we don't have pennies up here anymore !

JJZ got a point, over the years I've changed 2 tires on the side of a high-speed expressway..... every 30 seconds that you don't have to be there has value, at least to me.

Rgds, D.

I sure as heck did not pay $100 for mine. Sure there's a price for convenience, but I've got my limitations on what I'll pay.
I can say that I was happy to have my butt back in the truck and proceeding north on I95 in 20 minutes or so. Which I would not have done using my bottle jack.

The ramps work fine, 2x6 or 2x8's work fine. If you are hauling equipment, a bottle jack can work. If you have a load of livestock or horses, I would not even think of using a jack, the critters will move way too much, even with wheels chocked.
