Tire plug kits are super handy and have saved me multiple times just in town.
They have come in huge on many trips for me... I would guess almost all my tires on my trucks have plugs in them by the time they are retired.
@@OutdoorAuto Of course some people poopoo tire plugs and insist they are dangerous.
I think the danger comes from driving on them when flat and actually damaging the tire.
Excellent concise review of jacks! Thank you!
GET A TIRE PLUG KIT!!! Must have for all Overlanders

The video edits are so slick, esp the arc animation
Great point about the Pro Eagle Kratos. I ended up with one for dual duty as a shop jack.
When you get double duty out of it I feel like all of a sudden it feels like a good deal at the price point.
Nathan such good info, I had to come back and watch it again.
thanks another great video. I have to reinforce the point you made about a high lift jack. We Used it like a winch when my son and I got stuck in a mud pit. It took us 3 hours to get out but we got out with no one else around. Right after that we got a winch but we still carry the high lift.
I love having a winch but I have had them fail me at the worst times... I always have a winch... but I always have my Hi lift and straps... just in case.
Thanks for another informative video & new truck looks amazing
Thanks For watching 🙏 - New truck has been a lot of fun... but I think I might needs some tires 😬
Just noticed the plates! Hello from CDA! Awesome video.
Awesome video, I was looking at Jack's today. Thanks for the info bro
Pro eagle dude. You’ll never look back.
It really is a pretty sweet piece of gear.
Safe Jack is a great alternative and they also make stabilizer kits that work on bottle jacks and Hi-Lift jacks. Currently, I have the stock Tundra jack, the safe jack system, hi-lift, and an exhaust jack with me on trips.
You travel well prepared... I will have to check out Safe Jack... thanks for the tip.
MY buddy used the hi lift bar to hold his axle in when the c clip broke strapped it to the frame front and back and drove it out. ❤my hi-lift!
Dang.. that is awesome 👏
Great video, covered all the basics and gave a good working description of each. Definitely practice with a high lift a few times, they can bite the unprepared! So, where was that trail you were on in the video? Looks fun.
That is in the Owyhee Mtns… it is a HUGE are in Oregon and Idaho.
Nice. Good advice. Thanks!
THanks for Watching 🙏
Lekker video. Thanks.
Most danger with the hi lift comes from the kick when the vehicle is being lowered. I got smacked once during an exhausting recovery. Luckily it hit me under the jaw and not on it. I have lots of room and bring both hi lift and pro eagle.
YES... this is exactly right... people get use to the pressure coming when they push down and aren't ready for it to push up so hard on the way down... it gets a lot of people. This is why I always tell people to at least get a little practice in while they are safe.
You forgot to mention keeping a proper jack base for a bottle jack or hi-lift. It can be something as simple as a scrap piece of 2x10 or metal plate. Or you can get a maxtrax mini or hi-lift specific base.
I had an exhaust jack and loved it. I had more luck filling the bag with my air compressor but it worked great. I always carried a Hi Lift jack though and it was my go to 95% of the time
exhaust jacks are just one of those cool things that seem like they shouldn't work... but works great.
Do you have any videos on your Troopy? We need some with that thing out on the trail and a walk around video.
Bottle jack are good because they are cheap, don’t take up a lot of space, and can had in a variety of sizes and weight capacity. It would be awesome to have a floor Jack like the Pro Eagle but I don’t have that kind of room in my Land Cruiser. So bottle jack it is. And they can be used as a secondary or support jack in case the primary jack slips. Keep up the good work.
I love your videos. I just found your channel. Just FYI its a tire plug kit not a patch kit. Patches go on the inside of the tire.
Yeah, good call out... I still stumble over my words when I have a camera in my face. Glad you found the channel. Thanks for watching.
Safe jack is my go to jack...solves the problem with a lift and 37" tires...
Really helpful video.
Awesome, glad it was helpful
Great videos! New to overlanding. Getting educated and set up. What high lift jacks are recommended? I was looking for the link to a multi-purpose hi-lift you mentioned in the videos. Thanks, Harry
I like this hi lift jack - Hi-Lift X-Treme Jack - amzn.to/3q8OJOA
Look into the safe jack kit for the hi lift, amazing piece of equipment to make the jack ever more stable and safe.
Great advice
There's also the liftmate which works really well in my experience to use the wheels to attach the hilift to.
Yeah those are great... my only issue is I feel like 90% of the time the tire is what I need to work on... so I cant be attached to it...
@@OutdoorAuto jack up the tire then block up axle with a log/flat rocks. I Carry a chain saw with my gear.
I run a perentie, I have a mechanical screw bottle jack, 4wd scissor jack and a hilift, I don’t carry a hydraulic anymore because when they get wet they rust and fail, the hi lift is safe because I use a large shackle to fasten it to one of 4 helicopter lift points and it can’t flop over, still have to be careful of the handle flicking back as I got grazed on the skull by it before
Good stuff! Days not right unless you learn something. You mentioned that you have a blower on your truck, any videos on that?
I cover it high level in this Walk through of the White Tundra - czcams.com/video/baXIKlRIeK8/video.html But at some point we will have to cover it specifically
@@OutdoorAuto Very nice truck but, I'd like to actually see it being installed.
Never leave the high lift under a load with the handle in the down position. I live a ranch style life n usually have 2. They are stubborn and literally potentially leathal. Mine nearly killed me once when the handle flew up n hit me in the head. My fault.Dsndahermit.
Very good advice… high lifts take practice to be safe for sure…
Hey Nathan, I always enjoy your videos. Very informative and also very practical. By the way, I noticed you have Weboost antenna in front of your Tundra. What mounting bracket did you use for that?
Exhaust jack is amazing except cannot be used near anything hot which excludes almost one side of the vehicle. Gas tank is on the other side which can be an issue as well.
Good points.
need a jack now!
A good Jack is definitely critical.
nathan mueller...or is it colin mcgregor....haha seriously nice video
I have a bigger beard... he has bigger muscles... so we will call it even... Right?
Isn't the hi-lift extreme jack also made out of different metal? And they only realistically useful if you have bumpers and sliders that are adequate to lift from, and most aren't.
The TaulerJack will be my next jack.
its a pretty cool setup... I am curious how strong it is when it tilts and loads shift. its pretty obvious those trailer jacks can lift a heavy load straight up and down... but the metal is very thin compared to a Hi-lift... somebody that knows physics needs to do the math and tell me if the Tauler jack is still sound when not operating in a square, flat friendly environment.
@@OutdoorAutoI agree I don't know if it will take the side load like a HiLift will but with 3/16 welded on the body and the lift portion probably made from 3/16 it should be strong enough. I use a suburban so I really should buy the strongest jack possible but the tauler jack sure looks like a fun project.
Hi lifts make a good weapon, according to old heads who were around when just about all full-size cars came with them.
They were called bumper jacks...why? Because the bumpers were steel...
Safe Jake is really good bottle jack per many reviews. Bottle us most safest one .
Safe Jack makes great stuff.
Great 👍🏻
Awesome, hope it was helpful. We have a whole run of new videos coming… starting this week.
Are you using a 1.5 or the 2 ton ?
I have a 2 Ton
Ahhhaaha not my pants!
Glad somebody noticed 😂
Is this made in the U.S.A??
Their site is pretty unclear… my stickers are wore off… but since it seems unclear on their site I am going to guess no
I have ARB's Jack. Yeah, it was expensive. But my Hobbit-size wife can at least use it, in an emergency, if for some reason I'm not able to. I don't think she'd have to strength or wherewithal to use a Hi-Lift.
Have you had to use it in cold weather? I need a second opinion... but I have heard it can be pretty hard to compress in cold weather... have you noticed this...
@@OutdoorAuto Hi Nathan - great video - and I was searching the comments for any discussion on this topic. Did you find out whether this is an issue?
I want a pro eagle but I can't justify $500. I rather stack wood.
I get it... $500 is a big ask... best justification I had is I needed a Mechanics jack anyway...
No love for the all in one? I carry this and a hilift. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ULZGFU?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I guess technically I carry the one that comes with the truck too.
I thought you were conor mcgregor 😂
I am the much taller.... and unfortunately much less stronger doppelgänger for Conor....
🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
a little duct tape and mole skin could have fixed that little rip
I can't believe I didn't think of that.
Are his ears tucked into his cap?
I have really big ears... 🤷♂️
@@OutdoorAuto embrace them
What's the trend with people tucking their ears into their caps? Just stop! 😂
What’s the trend with ppl actually caring what I wear and why? I got big ears and hats drop low on my head… 🤷♂️
why dont u show the jacks in use instead of truck driving around and animals
Cause I have a real job and ad family and I can't spend 100 hrs making a video for free... but I still take the time to get unsponsored, unbiased, quality info out there about a variety of products I have used over the last 20 years. I have a question.... Why don't you make the Video you are asking me to make?
I'm sorry but there are dozens of floor Jack's WAY less than $400 that are light and a much better foot print. $400 for a simple floor jack is dumb. And yes they're 2 ton or more also
