I rotate my spare in too. The way I see it is by the time I'm ready for a new set of treads I may not want the same tyres or like others have said the spare would be no good. Up here the sun kills...

Just thinking a piece of carpet the size of your cargo area might be OK

Generally a one way valve along the hose about a metre from the device which can easily be popped off to release the air.

Hi lift jacks are dangerous if not treated with respect, as Mega mentioned you'll need a base plate for sand work. Always leave a hi-lift with the handle in the up position.
Modern 4x4 are not...

I use a high lift and agree they are deadly when used incorrectly, but would rather be caught out with a high lift over a exhaust jack. I also carry a 400x 400 x6 mm steel base plate for sand and...
