I carry a landr***r bottle jack out of a 1990 RR vogue SE I scrapped (the jack was the only bit worth keeping, rust had got the rest of it). Only downside is it tends to disapear into the ground rather than lift the Jimny off road, yes I know I need to carry a piece of wood! I have a trolley jack in the garage.
john.
one of these would do the job

Seems mostly holes to me, you want a solid board to give a large surface area.
Are you supposed to wrap them with something?
Or do they just sink in and keep the jack level?
I have a RangeRover jack too. They are perfect, have a curved top to locate under the axle tube and a 2 stage lifting ram so they go down small enough for a flat tyre and go up high enough to get an inflated one on.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I can't see those waffles working either, the proper hi-lift ones are solid i thought and attach to the jack?
Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

They only sink into the gound if its very muddy otherwise they spread the load of the jack over a greater surface area the hi lift stand is great but over £45 and would still sink into mud
we have a pair of 4 ft long ones we use under the wheels if stuck in gloop and too far away from a tree to winch

Where are you putting the scissor jack, If your using on the arms it should be long enough, the arms have a small round disc on the casting that the hole in the top plate of the jack mates to. It's not ment to go under axle If your using it there mate.

I tried under the sills when I first got it. Then when I obtained a handbook. I realised that I was supposed to jack up using the "pips" on the suspension arms. Thanks anyway.
