Ineos provided hydraulic bottle jack

I'm not a big fan of the storage location for the bottle jack. While overlanding my camp kitchen or other boxes will block the way to this side compartment. So the jack needs a new and more accessible spot. Where could this be? Ideas are highly welcome.

Too high and too far backwards, it is a quite heavy piece, I would place it as low as possible, possibly under the driver's seat if you don't use that space for something else.
For the time being the locations is OK for me, you don't have every week a flat tire (not me!).

 

[Tinerfeño]

Valid point.

I have average one flat per year (on some car), mostly off-road. But usually use Hi-Lift as it's much faster.

 

[emax]

possibly under the driver's seat if you don't use that space for something else.

And only if the jack can be stored upright. Otherwise, if one of the jack's seals is faulty, you might have an oily mess in your car.

 

[bemax]

Does it fit into the free space next to the second battery?

 

[chrsbe]

Could be a good spot. I will try. The other question is what goes into the now empty rear compartment. A water Tank sounds like a good idea. Maybe a bladder?

 

[K.M]

A good spot for a compressor? Maybe spare oil and coolant?

I'll be carrying one of these and not worrying.

Someone has developed a space heater for the jack cubby.

Danke @DCPU für die Fotos und die Zusammenstellung. Wirklich hilfreich. Ich habe heute auch den Jack ausprobiert. Danke für die Tipps. Ich habe ein bisschen mit der Datei an der Pumpenstange gearbeitet. Jetzt ist es richtig. Wenn ich das Ventil vollständig öffne, bewegt sich der schmale Kolben von selbst zurück. Und ich kann (zumindest mit der kurzen Stange) den Wagenheber herausziehen.
The video is a bit too big, sorry

You'll need a space for your electric drill plus a base.
I much prefer a bottle jack. The Grenadier one is pretty compact.

HI Jeffrey, I like the function of this multi-stage scissor jack. It's a lot better then the scissor jack that came with my 2020 New Defender. Only draw back is that it's size at 5" x 5" x 22" is longer than the Grenadier bottle jack so it would take up some more space, although a lot less space than a high lift jack. Their website shows it having a 2 ton or 4000 pound lift capacity, which is likely fine if just lifting one wheel or perhaps one side of the Grenadier which weighs in at a total of approximately 3 tons or 6000 pounds unloaded. Does anyone know the lift rating of the Grenadier Bottle Jack and it's overall width and height. DaBull

I agree. I won't need to schlepp my Hi-Lift since this one has lots of travel upwards. That's a plus. And it won't drip fluid. Yes it's heavier and longer than the stock bottle jack but so much more versatile and powerful.

I didn't think about that! Right

 

[chrsbe]

You can always store it in a plastic bag. Just in case.

Hi Jean, If using the bottle jack, I found this heavy duty attachment to place on top of the bottle jack in order to jack up the Grenadier from it's axles. It's called a "Bottle Jack Budy". There are 2 versions,
one for a smaller radius axle and one for a larger radius axle, which perhaps the Grenadier has.
This link is if for the one that would fit a larger radius axle, which may fit both axle sizes. Looks like something to add the the ever growing list of things to buy. DaBull

That item is similar to the Agile Offroad block that I use with my Hummer scissor jack. I will adapt it to fit the Gortech jack I previously showed here.

AO Axle & Frame Adaptor for H1 Scissor Jack - Agile Off Road

Designed to be used with a scissor jack, our Axle & Frame Adaptor is designed to support the rear axle or frame rail providing multiple safe jack points.

$65 ?

I had made a similar solution with a flat top four decades ago.
Cost: 50ct. Some recycled stuff and a welding electrode.

Side steps versus Rock sliders

I don't think the rock sliders are ideal for jacking with a hilift. They seem too flush with the bodywork. There's always a degree of wobble in the foot of a hilift where the baseplate meets the lifting beam and once a wheel is lifted it's easy for it to move a little off vertical and lean in...

Still works after 40 yrs.

And if you paid a welder or machinist to fabricate exactly what you made, it would cost that much, maybe more. Material, labor, anodize and laser etch ain't cheap these days.
