My Cheap Jeep Bottle Jack Setup - One Jack to Rule Them All!

This is my cheap version of a Safe Jack setup. I really like the idea of the Safe Jack system, but its too expensive, this is what I was able to put together for a fraction of the cost.

Good jacks are wonderful. But if you're thinking of getting rid of your high lift jack, I'd think that one thru. Started off-roading back in the 70's, and there are many situations a hi lift will get you out of when a bottle jack will be useless in. As in lifting the front or back of a vehicle high enough to get the wheels above a rut and pushing it sideways, off of the jack and out of the rut. ...It can also as a push-pull device with some chain. Just sayin'

I couldn't get that jack to fit in that slot in my 2018 Wrangler JL, so I purchased a 12 inch Husky took bag to store all the gear in.

Safe Jack's are Omega jacks which are very reliable. The jack boss is a torin jack, which have failed on me in the past. I just picked up a 2nd 6 ton omega bottle jack for 50 something bucks. Pay the extra money for the omega, the torin might leave you stranded. Also I would store that bottle jack vertical. Great video though. I did exactly what you did with buying just what you need. No more HL on my rig!

[LogicOverAllThing]

keep it vertical and above and below high temps

Thanks for sharing. I was contemplating a similar arrangement.

Great video man! I have the same setup in my Jeep!

The only trouble I have encountered with a bottle jack is that they are prone to leakage if stored horizontally. I have the Big Red and asked the company about it and they said it is not recommended to store them horizontally because they likely wil leak... So mine leaked and so now I am storing it vertically. But, the bottle jack is definitely the better tool than the stupid scissor jack!!

Love it, was looking for a setup for my Jeepster! This is what o need. Thanks for sharing!

At nearly 2 ½ years in, has the bottle jack leaked from being stored on its side?

Save some money and have a machine shop cut and weld an extension and saddle for a bottle jack you should already have.

nice video it would be cool to see the jack in action too

[johnwolf]

@kramer junction would a regular jack work for a stock Jeep not lifted? I don’t have a support attachment for my bottle jack

[jamieeisenhower]

I would just support my local stores and people's jobs. Get decent bottle Jack.

[UneducatedPhotographer]

How is this holding up for you? They're saying it shouldn't be stored sideways...

[corin]

Has the bottle jack leaked at all because it's on its side? Thanks.

Is the 6 inch extension necessary? I have a 2 inch lift on my Jeep with 35" Tires

No offense, but no one should trade an unreliable bottle jack for a mechanical scissor jack. There is a reason scissor jacks come withe the car - they are reliable. Safety has nothing to do with it. They are intended to change one wheel. What’s more is you are storing a cheap bottle jack sideways. Sure keep a bottle jack but removing the scissor jack can screw you over if that bottle jack leaks or fails.

Not sure how you did it under $100. Jack on Amazon almost $40, Safejack extension $47, safejack lift pad $50.
