New Jack
« on: August 22, 2015 - 10:12:36 PM »
I didn't have a stock jack when I bought my car.  I checked them out on eBay, and they are expensive, and have so many variations that I didn't know what I wanted.  I ended up buying a cheap 2 ton steel jack, that is small for $40.  I made a simple bracket, welded it to the floor, and secured the jack with a bungee.  I think I will end up changing the bungee to a spring for better appearance.  I think this is better than a stock jack.  More stable and easier to use.  Plus it doesn't weigh very much. It might even help with traction.

Whenever I take a trip I bring along a floor jack just to avoid using the flimsy jacks that come in vehicles from the factory.
