Fun story. ‘Pepe’. My 2dr sas. Driving down countrygravel roads 35-40mph in SE KS. Instant blow out! Didn’t see anything i would have hit - sounded like a shotgun and instant alarms from Pepe - plus back end dropped FAST! 🤬🤔. Thats not good. FYI - Pepe handled the blow out well. No loss of control. Not sure what it would have done on pavement. Back/passenger rear tire. Long story short- the scissor jack works on nice flat area Wouldn’t want to use on a trail
And don’t let your tire blow out in the middle of nowhere when the heat index is pushing 108f.
Other stupid question! I can easily see front jack points. WTF is the rear. I was hot/pissed -and tired at that point and didn’t really care. Second stupid ? Does having ‘Pepe’ in 4A help when that happens? Auto computer control of other 3 wheels. Not a gearhead but that just occurred to me. All is good - just out a new tire! PSS. Those Tires are Frickin heavy 🥸🏴‍☠️😎

Sorry to hear about your blowout.

The jacking point for the rear is the rear axle tube.

It's so hot the tire pressure probably got up to 100 psi and it exploded 😆

Yeah, most body on frame vehicles use the rear axle as the primary lift point, although some have good spots on the frame near the rear tire.
