HI Denis, welcome to the club. The Hydraulic jack is mainly for cars which has been lifted with a lift kit or got bigger tires.

Basic tool kit should include some spanners and screw drivers

Hahahhaha, Sorry for that. ACE is in Al Meena Area next to Toys R Us and Abu Dhabi Co-Op.

You can call me or Megamoe and we can take you there if you still don't know the place or need some help on what to buy.

one of the most important things you should DEF have ,ladies and gents :

a fire extinguisher! (if ur car hasnt already got one)

know where it is in the car , how to unhook it off it's mount , how to pull the lil pin out...etc etc.

doesnt cost much & can save your baby from going up in flames.

cheap insurance to have & 100% worth every last dirham...

Trust Amou-Kris

My suggestion is to have two foldable shovels instead of one, this way you can utilize the people riding with you

By the way, anyone have seen a rated ready made jacking board ? i usually have a piece of wood with me.

Datacentre floor tiles are going to
1. cut ur hand in 2 sec (aluminium cover for ESD protection)
2. make u regret the moment u took it (min 6 kg each I guess (50x50cm), heavy duty is a must, light weight is not)

rdgrds:
Drag

Well I got this very light weight 30x30 Plate from Adiga .. Don't ask me about the material .. but it is really great, I've been using it for almost a year with my Hi Lift and no problems so far ...

Hi welcome to the club HummerGirl, you can use either WD40 or water both will do, as for the tie or the bungee ropes they're essential in case you carry alot of things, in my case, wrangler owner i dont have such problem

Mega WD40 prove to be BAD due accumulate more dust & sand than lubricate things, its better to use a Dispenser spray cans or the cleaning spray used to clean electrical stuff which can clean without causing sand accumulation on the parts & cause more damage later
