Help on Mitsubishi L200 wheel jack specs

    If anyone drives a Mitsubishi L200 or has access to a Mitsubishi L200 Wheel Jack would they do me a big favour and check out the specifications on it?

    Mine's missing the correct one and the one that's left there won't cut it if I get stuck.

    I just need to know the height that the official jack extends to and it's load bearing weight if possible. I've been told that a Pajero jack will not do for the L200. I've bought and returned three jacks trying to get one that has the height required to lift this pickup. I think the 2 tonne bottle jack variety will work if I can get one that has the height required, I've posted a wanted add in adverts.ie so if you have one for sale, please reply over there (http://adverts.ie/22039).

    Why not try a mitsubishi dealer? It'll probably cost you but like you said you'll want one if you get stuck.

    I had a brand new 2 tonne trolley jack collapse on me lately, €10 aldi axle stands took up the weight easily. Scary though.

    Thanks, you're probably right.. should just get one but there must be a non-branded alternative that's easier/quicker I'd imaging the dealer won't have one in stock anyway.

    If I can get the specifications I can grab an unbranded one.

    Well for the previous model L200 crew cab the jack is a
    Bottle jack
    type "PB II F1.5A cap"
    by "Thai Summit Engineering"
    1500 kg capacity

    Remember that while the vehcile weighs more than 1500 kg, the jack only lifts one corner at a time so a 1500 kg capacity is perfectly adequate. edit: actually can anyone confrim this? When a jack has a stated capacity on it does it mean that it will support this weight or does it mean that you can jack one corner of a car of that weight?
