Wow! I have one of those and didn't know what it was! It's dirty, so I'll let it go for $75 (will trade for mental exam).

I'm trying to figure out this jack thing. My first LR, a 65 had a screw type jack with a metal rod which acted as handle and extension. It fit into clips behind the front seat backs. Think of it as a longer, thinner version of a starting handle with a flattened end. I know it was origional equipment because it came with my Rover. I never had a wooden handle. I currently don't have any type of jack in my current Rover but am leaning towards rock sliders with holes for a special high lift attachment, as sold by our hosts or built by Ike Goss. Am I missing something here? What were the different types of jacks sold with NA Rovers? If I remember correctly, the origional jack was nothing special from a truly useful point of view.

I have the screwjack with the long shaft and wooden handle, hand starter and the tire iron, although I don't think I have the correct lever rod for the tire iron. I only use the screwjack to support the tranny when I take the motor out and most of the time I use a 1/2 ratchet and an extension to turn it. It's a handy jack, it has a slightly rounded bottom and a nice top support so it's versatile, but nothing really special. In the bush I use a jackall and in my shop I use a floor jack most of the time. It's only really special for the rover purists, but it does fit nicely inthe underseat tool box.
