car question

[Mayfriday0529]

Do you guys think a 2 Ton Floor Jack, is good enough for a Jeep Wrangler or something bigger?

Last winter my friend and i, i got stuck after work with a flat tire on his jeep while there was snow on the ground and also snowing and during that 7f degree weather and his jeep came with this tiny stupid jack that took us about one hour just to lift the car up.

We don't want that same mistake again.

It should be fine. Wranglers aren't all that heavy. Prolly works fine just for changing a tire. I wouldn't recommend doing work under the car though.

That's quite enough. The Jeep doesn't weigh two tons as a whole.

That's what jack stands are for. Never trust jacks.

Yeah we only need it in case to change a tire and replace the crap that Jeep put in the car originally.

Get a Hi-Lift jack if it's just for a wrangler. Just throw that sucker under the bumper and go to town. For storage, it fits really nice between the roll bars across the back of the Jeep.

It's even better when you have rocker guards since that's another jack point.

The 05 Wrangler SE's curb weight shows to be 3235.

That's less than two tons by 765LBs.

2 ton jack will handle it with no problems.

Damn we're good.

even if the thing weighed 2 tons you'd not be lifting its entire weight anyway.
