    mechanical scissor jack, cant recal what it is out of , takes up less space and I added a piece of small channel iron to cradle the axle. Photoshop and I are arguing at the moment...

    Factory jack and tire iron under the driver's seat in factory location and a spare in the back in the factory holder. It's not road worthy yet, so it is ahead in that respect.

    thats what I carry as well.

    I typically carry most of my hand tools, some spare parts, 3 gallons of water, assorted hoses and other stuff in the way back just in case Smile
