Spare Jack Alternative

[RoadsterJon]

If anyones looking for a cheaper replacment jack I found this jack in a 96 BMW 3 series. Fits well and has the same lift height. Even snaps into the stock clip in the truck.

Are stock jacks hard to come by? I have 4 or 5 in the garage...

Still rather use a scissor jack - though the handle is a vast improvement over the ratchet

The ratchet was only on some late 69 and 70 cars. The early cars got a crank handle.

I would avoid that thing at all costs and use a floor jack. Granted it doesn't do you much good on the road, but then I have a scissor jack for that. Those things just scream body damage and "Danger Will Robinson, Danger!"

i thought stock jacks were had to come by but i guess not. ive been driving around without a spare or a jack since i bought the car.
