I'm looking for an old style Bumper jack to carry on my Buggy. The local bone yards here pretty much just laugh when I ask. |

I have been collecting what I need to be self sufficent however I still need that Jack. I may weld two scissor jacks together to be able to raise the frame high enough. I have 4 of those.

Dont buy that junk. Get a real hi lift. They are about the same price. The china ones don't work as well and like to jam a lot. I've had both myself. When it was time to buy another jack, I bought a 60 in hi lift. The high lifts also come with a loop that bolts on to the rack so you can hook up a chain to it and the jack pad to use it as a hand winch. http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_33539_-1______?rFlag=true&cFlag=1 |

Heres the cheaper version that isn't all cast. Its plenty robust for use with a buggy. I had one I used with my 83 K10 on 36's. It didn't have any problem lifting my fullsize truck. http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_28124_-1______?rFlag=true&cFlag=1 |

I had seen that before. I actually ended up using a heavy duty scissors jack I had laying around. I welded a 1/2" drive socket on the screw and use an old rachet to turn it. I have used it quite a bit on the trails and it works well. It also does not take up a lot of room on the Buggy. |
