I have found
the PRO ARMOR QUICK SHOT to be one of the best out there,
it comes with a scissor jack which fits on a base,
that straps down your tire on top of you cargo box,
and the kit also come with a jack wrench and also fits your lug nuts,
they can be bought on ebay

 

Torin Scissor Jack — 1-Ton, Model# T10102 | Scissor Jacks | Northern Tool + Equipment

 

I have almost 4000 miles on my RZR. I ride in some pretty wild places and I have never had to change a tire. Had some flats, had to put 7 plugs in a hole once but so far I have never had to change a tire, I know with aluminum rims there could be a problem. Not saying it is not a good idea. I have a 12volt air pump and a good supply of plugs.

 

don,t mean to sound like a butt,
but he is asking what jack is recommended,
what you have quoted i carry including the jack,
if he tears a side wall or busts a rim,
that when tire change will come into play,

 

Has any one used an Exhaust Air Jack?

 

My bro and I had an issue this year. What we ended up doing was pushing on the roll bars and got the rzr up on 2 wheels. Then I held it there while he swapped out the wheels. Obviously we had all the lugnuts off first. Prolly wont work to well if you ride by yourself though.

 

I carry a extra small bottle 2 ton jack which you can buy anywhere for around 15 bucks. Fits under arm but if you have futv arm guards like me then best thing is bring strap and hook arm bar to upper frame and tighten, then put bottle jack under lowest part of frame and lift. you can even do two tires at once using one strap to both arms and put jack in center. I do think scissor jack works better but I strap my bottle jack inside the spare rim and scissor jack is to long.

 

These work great on any small vehicle.

These are small and light.
Easy Up Trailer Jack

 

I use my winch....its not hard to get any wheel off the ground....get creative with the angle of the winch line....hook it to a tree and get r done.

 

Now THAT is a GREAT idea!

 

Practically any automotive scissor jack with a swivel handle will work well. I do carry a 4"X6" block to put down in the sand so it doesn't sink out of site. Think the jack I bought at a garage sale was for a Subaru. Paid $3. Fits well under the hood with a cheater bar for the spanner that adjusts the shocks, Polaris tool kit and spare belt.

Last time out riding at Lost Trails I sliced my side wall on a front tire.
I carry a spare, but didn't have a jack.
So, I drove up onto a tree, this raised the front end enough for me to get 'er done.

There may be a picture in my garage...

The quick change might work well, but I don't think it'll work in mud or soft ground.

I'm going to get either a bottle jack or a scissor jack.

 

If you choose a scissor jack make sure that it lifts high enough to actually elevate your Rzr high enough in the field to change a flat but more importantly,to put the new inflated tire on.

I use/carry a Hi-Lift jack on my Rzr. You can get the small 36" version and you can pick them up used sometimes for a steal. I use the Hi-Lift roll cage jack mounts to secure it out of the way behind the seats on the horizontal bar. If you opt to use a Hi-lift/farm jack, make sure you have a small piece of 2x4 to place on the jack face as the face can dig into your skid plate with the lip it has. It also makes for more contact area on the underside.

 

Now THAT is a JACK!!!! Where did you get your mounts? Thanks.

Hang on to that fuel can!!!! You can't get them anymore. I've been offered a lot of money just for my spout!!!!

 

Looking for recmendations for a compact jack that would be suffucient to change a wheel on the trail.

THANKS!

A junkyard is a good place to find scissor jacks for cheap too. I've used mine often out on the trail. I wont leave home without it.

 

Some times you need a jack for more then just the quick tire change lol. This is a high lift copy, Heavy but works fine.

 

OUCH!

 

Onerich, where did you find that jack and how do you mount/carry it?

 

Here's the link for the jack and I carry it in the box in the pix. Like said it's heavy but it works. If it was 24'' that would work out better for the sxs needs , sometime just need a couple more inches (lol) to make it nicer to use. Also I think if needed you could use it as a com along by adding toe straps to each end with the jack in the middle of say a tree and what ever your trying to pull out. Hope this helps

Just buy a high lift jack & cut the beam to fit you needs.

 

Why didn't I think of that!!!

 

Some more, If you want to know more . About the hi-lift jack .

Hi Lift CAST & STEEL JACKS - 48" or 60" HEIGHTS - JCWhitney

 

We run a jack out of an old Volkswagen bug in our cars. Similar to a highlift in the way it works but a much smaller and lighter package.

 

Are those hard to find ? Any pix ?

 

Rich, I think were gonna be riding with you soon. for the John Berry memorial ride..were friends with Reed & Brevan! looking forward to meeting some of the "La famalia" see ya soon:ride:

 

YUP , well end up on the same ride one of these day's :ride:

 

We found ours at a local junk yard and I've heard of friends also picking them up on Ebay as well.

 

Found this pix on a HOLTZ RIDE, I like how the made the foot print bigger.

 

I think the two ultimate ways would be the Hi-Lift or the Pro Armor Quick Shot.

I did the cheap way, $15 bottle with a little wood, and has helped me and others out immensely. Never been a problem. Compact, too.

Yes , I think with all the info given the OP and others should get a good idea on what can be used as long as you have some thing with you or in the group you ride with.

 

I have done it in the desert and in the sand by hooking the winch of another RZR to the top of the roll cage and getting whatever wheel you need off the ground. You don't need a tree just another vehicle with you.....which you should have anyway. I do not like riding alone.

 

Great idea I will have to remember that manuver.

 

I got a bottle jack (crank style, not hydraulic) out of an older ford (90's) from junkyard, while getting arm rest out of ford focus so i can cop a lean....

Works for me

Little compartment under the lid is handy for keeping my sunglasses, wallet, clean rag for wiping off goggles...etc...etc.
It even tilts up to make it easier to fish for the harness buckle.

 

I'm a Hi-Lift guy. I've also got the plastic baseplate. This jack is perfect in soft conditions where the jack sinks some and it helps in off-camber areas. Jack also has about 100 other uses and it's there in case a larger rig needs help.

For steep hills it also helps keep the front from unloading.
