Nice Montego. I think it would be awesome to participate on the HRPT. It looked like they were using the bumper jack on that Montego. Do the rest of you guys use the original jack like that, or carry a hydraulic bottle jack?

I carry a hydraulic jack. I remember my Dad using that bumper jack on the side of the highway changing a tire. How anyone ever trusted those things is beyond me. Scary stuff! |

Ya. Scary stuff. Had a flat on the interstate with my 75 Elite back in the day and used the bumper jack and it fell over. Joanne was sitting in car at the time and it scared the
 out of her.Have a hydraulic jack in all my cars now.
