I have this. Keeps the scissor jack stable and you don't have to extend as high to lift the tire off the ground. Used it twice with no issue.

They are out of stock and are not shown for the sale price.

I would put my name on the waiting list while you search around.

I did a quick internet search and came up empty. They used to be plentiful and easily obtained. Now they are either used or way over priced..sorry I couldn't help much.

I looked yesterday a little bit. They used to be around $90 in unused condition but now they’re like $150 for one that looks like it was pulled out of a Louisiana swamp and approaching $300 with shipping for “new”.

I looked into HMMWV jack as above a while back and they were scarce. I believe they were rated 7500 pounds. You can find 7500 pound rated long travel scissor jacks, but all of them are in pairs since they are for leveling huge RV trailers. But, that's what I would get (haven't pulled the trigger yet).
So if anybody goes along with that, just buy a pair and send me the extra jack. Thanks

This is what I built from a 24" 7500 lb RV leveling jack. They came in a 2 pack on Amazon. Seem very well made.

The problem I found out about on the Rubicon trail is that the jack has to be on very level ground or it will bend/bind the screw.

The top has a common leaf spring axle perch that you can buy from many sources like Summit or Jegs. I just welded a 1/2" thick plate on top with a 5/8" threaded hole and bolt the pad on loosely by hand.

It fits in the cubby at a diagonal. I also put one of these in my pickup as a flat changer jack.

Then there's these jacks I recently got.

I have been stashing them in the garage, but now that I know you're after them, I'm renting a safe. ?

I took one of the ARB style hyd ram jacks out on a trail run a couple weeks ago. I put it under the dog/cargo deck, in the footwell of the rear seat.

But, there is an importer of these jacks here Ultimate Hydraulic Jack with Mounting Clamps – MOJAB OFFROAD

They sell the jack with mounting clamps that you can bolt to whatever you can come up with.

The discussion seemed to focus on something that'd fit in the Jeep. Was just wondering if you had that mounted someplace creative...not your garage

I haven't done anything yet. But the ARB jacks have been mounted on the rollbar or just tossed in the back.

I say from personal experience with the factory scissor jack. Take it out of your Jeep casually walk over to your trash can and throw it away. I used the factory scissor jack one time. My Jeep is on 37s. While it will lift the Jeep up high enough, it is dangerously unstable. I was able to get the tire off. When I went to put the tire back on, the Jeep fell off the scissor jack. Lucky for me the axle landed inside of the wheel so the whole Jeep did not fall to the ground. I reset the jack and the tool that you use to screw the jack up failed and broke so I could no longer use jack. I was on completely level ground. I was in a parking lot. I ended up borrowing a jack from a guy with a Ram truck.

Normally, I would have a bottle jack with me and a jack base. I carry the bottle jack with me when we off road and travel. That day, we had come home from traveling and I had cleaned the Jeep out of just about everything. We were just going to run some dirt roads and such when I had a tire failure.

The only think worse than a scissor jack failing is you injured or stuck under a Jeep with no help.

This was my experience as well. It fell off and bent the first use… and my JLUR isn’t even lifted.

I replaced it with a HD Huskey branded bottle Jack and a few of the SaferJack components and haven’t looked back.
