the TJ jack is a bottle jack

Screw, not hydraulic though. Should get way more throw than a hydraulic.

And only enough throw to change a 26" tire:

Not trying to be a jagoff. I've literally torn a sidewall on trail and stood back and WTF'd trying to use a bottle jack.

EDIT: Note Tractor Supply sells the Power Mountain High Boy that is pretty much identical for just over a hundred bucks.

I'm a big fan of the TJ OEM screw jack. I even made an adapter for my impact gun after watching @hosejockey61 spin one up.

I recently had to purchase a new PCM from Wranglerfix and Mark advised me to never use jumper cables that it could fry the PCM.

I don't use an impact. I use a drill on the low setting.

Any suggestions on a tree saver strap or any 3 or 4 inch strap? I agree the tire inflation/deflation, jumper cables, and lug wrench but they are pretty handy when needed. Been thinking about a jump box just never charged when you need it. One of those things people tend to forget. I like the idea of a high lift hydraulic jack just not a fan of where I'd stow it. Wish they made a way to stow them on the back bumper like some kind of weatherproof box.

Harbor Freight makes a good tree strap.

If you're carrying a hi-lift jack add a small spray can of WD-40.

Add a couple of cheap Amazon sourced winch rings. Good for redirects and 2 and even three way pulls. (Ah I see the snatch block! I'd still suggest a few more rings.)

I'd suggest a battery powered impact gun or a breaker bar and sockets over the four way lug wrench.

P.S. Does your winch have a remote?

I carry the Harbor Freight Badlands tree strap, used it when we wheeled Coalmont last time. Worked great and one of Blaines soft shackles for the winch pull.
