Or be a poor about it and just get the slim floor jack and a block of wood as a "jeep adapter".

Scissor jacks are limb removers. Don't use them. When you buy a new car, you should buy a new jack and a stand set and throw any scissor jack into the nearest homeless person's shopping cart of recycling material. A cheap set is $50 and way easier to gently caress with on the side of a highway than cranking a tire iron and getting .7mm lift per turn. And for the love of gently caress, if you don't know what you're doing with a hi-lift, just leave them alone. Or whatever. Drop a truck on your leg.

^ That's pretty great.Two Finger posted:use a loving scissor jack Yes. Edit: I actually have a hi-lift, but I've never used it. My floor jack is juuuuuust tall enough to get the Jeep up if I need to. But it also has a bad seal and the replacement piston assembly (because you can't buy a rebuild kit anymore) is actually about $10 MORE than buying a new one.

When I had my jeep I kinda wanted one to use as a winch since I couldn't really justify a dedicated winch for the light off-roading I was doing, but using to lift just seems sketchy as hell.

Hi-lifts are mostly to re-position a stuck vehicle on hosed terrain. It's a last resort before calling a recovery vehicle. If you're using it to actually lift a truck, it's only really useful in getting a tire high enough off the ground to re-seat a bead. For anything else, it's entirely too unstable. If you keep stands with you, I can understand carrying a hi-lift, but they're heavier and bulkier than a standard two ton floor jack. Unless you spend a lot of time rock-crawling, it's a dress-up accessory at best. I see them on jeeps all the drat time and I'll bet at least half of the people that drive around with one are clueless on how to use it.

I don't want to go out like the Cosby kid. Maybe not along the I-25 corridor, but I do all my own roadside repairs. I'm not paying $10/mo for roadside assistance. A pack of tire plugs and small 12v compressor has me roadworthy again in less than 15 minutes, I'm not waiting an hour for a tow truck. But I have a rich history in mechanics and don't mind doing that poo poo. What really loving sucks is roadside tractor-trailer work. An outside duals tire is stupid easy to replace, don't even have to take the wheel off the truck or run a jack, just drive the inside tire up on a block of wood and have it changed in ten minutes. If the inside is the blowout, that's an hour of loving around on the side of the highway. I'll grant there's nothing safe about changing a tire on the side of the interstate, but some of us don't poo poo our pants at cars flying by at 80mph and a car shuffling from the buffeting.

What compressor do you use? I've looked around a few times before and it seems like most of the ones I've seen so far have sucked rear end.

They all suck rear end. One came with my car (bottom tier Kias don't come with spare tires, it's a compressor and a can of goop seal), that's the one I use right now. I've bought a cheap Slime one (autozone brand) and it worked fine for years before I gave it to my brother. They're pretty much all the same thing, mostly all made in the same chinese factory. Just pick one out, test it to make sure it works right and throw it in the trunk. Probably $20-30 for a decent one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019FIERRO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I got this on a whim just to throw in a saddlebag for my bike. Turns out the little bastard added a fair amount of air to 4 motorcycle tires and 4 car tires before... well, I just ran out of tires. It is not speedy, and the compressor end gets really hot after a while (the manual warns you about it). Though it is small, and has a light.

That's a pretty nice looking one. I like when they have built in pressure gauges and lights, but I still have a $1 walmart flashlight in the car and pressure stick. As long as you're not purposefully trying to kill one, any compressor should work fine, you're mostly just paying for a name or bells/whistles at some point. Being raised a farm kid, this is all common sense stuff. I was driving junkass farm cars and trucks at 12 or 13 from field to field, first blowout was before I even had a permit. Had to change it myself in the middle of loving nowhere a year or two before we had cell phones for the farm cars.

The only flat tire I've had to change on the road in like 15 years was a catastrophic blowout that totally shredded the sidewall so I really never want a car that just has a goop can.

Eh, that's a luck thing. Catastrophic blowouts happen, but usually they're the result of ignoring previous problems, especially busted belting inside the tread. If you hit a curb or deep pothole and you notice a notch in the sidewall, that's an indicator. A bubble is too, but that means the layers of rubber inside have split and is more common in older tires than new. Now that most cars have TPMS, it's just a matter on not being lazy when the light comes on and thoroughly checking the tread for any sharps or miscellaneous poo poo. When I was working at a truckstop in Tennessee before I joined the army, I found a claw hammer head inside a truck tire. But rule of thumb is as long as it's not in the shoulder (inch or so closest to the edge of the tread), you can slap a rubber cement covered plug in it, wait five minutes and fill it back up. Shoulder punctures should just be replacements, as punctures there cut longer into the curved wall, through more belts and poo poo. But I also used to be the guy who would buy $20 tires for my Ranger from pepboys and put them on myself with screwdrivers and a prybar. You learn a lot about tire construction when you replaced cheap ones frequently.
