What is this?

Anti-seize has been about the best option I've seen. I don't need it on either of the trucks but the girlfriend's spare is held up in a cage type retainer with a hook and bolt system on the one end. I have to check that thing every spring and fall to make sure it stays lubed well enough in order to be able to access the spare easily enough. Especially if she has to do the job herself. Anything else I've tried just washes away. Even the anti-seize washes away but has held up the best of everything I've tried and goop the living crap out of the bolt before dropping the cage and after.

Hmm, I didn't know that about those jacks, I always thought they were hydraulic...always learnin' something here.

I need to get a jack handle for the Ranger, the jack isn't very useful without it LOL. I'm in the process of repainting the lower blue section on my Ranger so I pulled the spare tire down since I had the bumpers off what a PITA that was, the spare hadn't been taken down for a long time obviously had to take a can of penetrating oil to the I-Bolt to get it loosened up, but its all freely moving now. Anything I can put on that stuff to keep it all from sticking in the future? I thought anti-seize but wouldn't that attract road grime?

Never seize and drop it down when you rotate tires.

A: check spare tire pressure
B: exercise the mechanism

Those are caltrops and bouncy balls, not jacks.

This is a jack.

Incidentally there is a song floating around out there that people think is about this card, but it is actually about Gonorreah.

I like where this thread is heading...

Right. Replace every instance of the word "Jack" with "Clap" and the song still works.
