I use a hi lift jack (aka "jack-all") with an adapter to fit vanagon
jack points. I welded part of stock jack to some box section tubing
and bolt that to jack all "tongue". It works well, I stow under back
seat, but if you want to be manly and show it off, there are lots of
options in the off road world, attachment points to rear tire
carrier, bull bar, bumper , roof rack etc.

Since I broke my OEm jack(it's only forergencuies, anyway) I am
looking to
get a heavy duty jack.  Thinking of the kind that you see on the
jeeps that
are off-road tricked.  I can clamp it on my luggage rack. Anyone have
a good
lead on one that may be available locally(US) without having to
ship.  Will
be checking a few off-road shops around here ut would like to save a
shoe-leather.  Thought the Syncro folks might have a few tips.
Thanks in
advance.
