At home or offroad, use a real jack floor jack. A piece of 4x4 helps with that too btw.
Well DUH.... LOL

My floor jack was across town in storage and we had jack stands to stabilize while we worked. We just needed to get it up high enough to get the stands under there and all we had was his Smittybuilt Trail jack that didn't work on my XK and my OEM jack.

So it brought me to the question what on earth I'd do if I got a flat. So now I'm obsessed with figuring it out before I have to figure it out.
