shadow79 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Even a scissor jack can do but it's pretty tricky to use in sand... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can ride a bicycle on dunes too, but its pretty tricky. PLEASE DON'T USE SCISSOR AND BOTTLE JACK IN SAND, if you love your car and limbs. 1 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Gajaria Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Hey Fuad, Personally I've had no issues with the Current Mitsubishi Bottle Jack although some recommend against it, I lift the car from its control arm (make sure you have a wide baseplate). Lifting from the lower control arm means you won't have to raise the jack as much to get the rim and tyre up! Cheers, Jas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So mandatory for me to get a new one Hi Fuad, I need to get one as well. I'm thinking of below options or maybe we can go to DM one of the days and physically inspect available options that is not too heavy and easy to use (with a capacity of min 2 ton or above) https://www.amazon.ae/Hydraulic-Floor-Jack-2-ton/dp/B07V8C5KVZ/ref=asc_df_B07V8C5KVZ/?tag=googleshopp09-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=372530264524&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11872595619247502867&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1000012&hvtargid=pla-803380389058&psc=1 https://www.amazon.ae/Ford-Hydraulic-Trolley-Garage-Change/dp/B00T4OJ3YM?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00T4OJ3YM&pd_rd_r=59caf9b5-4b3a-4955-8ea2-1dc10cce2eca&pd_rd_w=5dGjQ&pd_rd_wg=P2Cbs&pf_rd_p=59021c89-d5ac-4429-be06-c67cba534e65&pf_rd_r=X2JHE2J6BGJST1SX5WVM&psc=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
