Scizzor jack for when you can't get dolly wheel off

Nomad

Jenn - I have my spare mounted on the side of the frame so even though I can remove the Jack, the spare gets in the way (I installed the Jack before moving the spare) - I can get into the back but can't open the window much - but, by angling the TV, I can open the back all the way which I wouldn't be able to do if the Jack was still there...

Thanks, PXL! Are the spacers between the donut and the trailer frame? Were mountable to use the same bolts or did you have to get longer ones?

Nomad

Jenn - Yes, between the donut and the frame. Had to raise it as it didn't sit nice on those other bolts. Can't remember how many washers I used but once you lay the donut down you can measure. Pretty sure I got longer bolts also - even if not needed. I make one trip to the hardware store and make sure I'm covered even if in the end I didn't need the extras - nuts/bolts = cheap. Another trip to the hardware store = irritation :-)

I keep 2 short pieces of 2X4 in TV and Drive onto them to raise it enough to drop the wheel. 2013 LG T@B.

Replacing the jack was the first thing I had to do to my T@b (due to my own stupidity.) It was extremely simple, so if a better jack stand comes out, that should be an easy mod for everyone.

Hi Jkjenn, I am needing to replace the jack stand on my 2013 Tab and will be ordering one.  Is there a particular "type" I need to order?  I don't think I need a jack e up, I've never had trouble with enough clearance to get the wheel off plus I have a scissor jack just in case I do.  I don't want to order the wrong kind mount-wise, etc.  Any recommendations?

Where did you get that spare tire carrier?

Marine/boat dealer - Kind of a standard boat trailer tire mount. Think eTrailer carries them online also.
