Flat Tire Kit

[Busa Dave]

Thanks all for the inputs, going with an 18 inch bottle jack and adapter. I am going to do some more research on the Fuel Milwaukees and may eventually go with one but for the near term, I"ll just keep a fresh batter on board with my 3/4 Dewalt Electric which works great.

Understood. Your call for a bottle jack may leave you high and dry without the available bases if you go off the road any. Learned that lesson about 30 years ago.

A Duraflap mud flap works pretty good for soft ground in a pinch

Two eight inch pieces of 2x4 and a floor mat....... hell I could fix lifters and spun cranks with that setup and a cold Schlitz! Go for the gusto!

Just for a repeat because I’ve learned the lesson the hard way. You have 18” rims, so that’s 9” dead flat center of axle, with the rear axle, you need a couple inches off that. Front way less. I haven’t found a bottle that can do that with 37s on the Jeep. And a hi lift has to do that plus the full travel.

If you get one of these adapters, you'll gain a couple inches+ of height and add a lot of stability. Should be able to lift well over 20 inches with a 12 ton jack, less with 6 ton. Add a piece of 6x6 wood and you get a little more.

They also make these pads for stability, but I've never used them.
