Brief story: Had a flat tire in desert due to beadlock bolts over torqued (I assume) and broke three off. As a result couldn’t keep air pressure because they were three in a row and would lose bead and air would come out. Used a bottle jack, but couldn’t get it high enough to change tire and nothing in desert to use under jack. Limped it along by using compressor and jacking up enough to keep bead and then would lose air and repeat.
Learned a lesson. Couldn’t change to spare so it was useless. 32” tires and ground clearance can make a bottle jack worthless on these machines.
As a result now have Hi-Lift mounted under tool box.
