That is, unless you want to get a floor jack for other purposes and are using this as an excuse to buy it. Big smile

I am the type person that buys stuff just in case I need it.    I might have a flat in my driveway.

Funny that you brought that up rawest50.  Years ago I had an AMC Gremlin and as we were coming home from church, 21 miles away in the dead of winter, the car pulled very hard to the left as I was coming up the driveway.  Yep, the driver's side read tire was nearly down to the rim.  But was I happy, this could have happened miles away from home.

Speaking of Harbor Freight, see they have a 3 gal, oil less, 1/3 HP, 100 psi pancake Air Compressor for 40 bucks.

This was a piece of cake. Raise the hitch. Place a 16" block under it and unbolted. Installed the power jack and connected the power. The entire removal and install took less than 5 minutes. Daughter helped.

Congratulations on your new power jack! I can't wait to reinstall ours. I removed it so that our escaPOD would be close to stock before it goes to the factory for repairs. It will likely be one of the first mods I reinstall.
