P1000 What are you using for a trail jack ?

Don’t forget a shovel

I keep that under the roof along with a saw.

A riding buddy turned me on to the roll bar mounts and rim strap for my Sheepherder, as we called it - Highlift Jack.
They are great when you need them and dangerous if not paying attention. I've thrown my 30 yr old Jack away a few times after it nearly broke my jaw, but it works when needed.

Not once needed a jack so we don’t carry one. Most of the time there’s another rig be it ours or a friends and we just tug it over. If no other rig then front or rear winch works good from a tree. Someone could drive up a tree or a rock a little too. Actually scared of using jacks in the field.

i carry my viair and a plug kit.no spare tire right now,but if/when i actually get one it will probably be a scissor jack.

The handyman jacks are a lot more versatile, not to mention making a good bumper.

too bulky.i'd rather use a winch/snatch block.

I carry a little scissor jack. It's light and small. All I'd use it for is changing a tire. I also carry a small come-along and have the winch on the machine. A 36" high lift is heavy, where could it actually hook into the machine to jack it up and where do you store it?

This is where I store mine and I have an attachment that goes on the jack and attaches most anywhere to lift.

Neither a winch or jack can do it all, best to have both. I also carry a earth anchor just in case too.

Nothing like a trail jack...

I have a 36” HiLift mounted on my front bumper. It was on my 500 but it transferred to the 1000 easily enough. It’s gotten a bit bent over time but it’s easy enough to bend it back. Kinda lopsided too...

fyi, an easy diy anchor,10 ft' of chain,a half dozen pieces of rebar (or more if you trail in sand) around 18",lay the chain in a v ,pound some rebar thru the links and attach the winch line to the point of the v.works really good if you have nothing to cable to.i carry a bag with it in my truck.i've used it once but it saved my ass.
