In my Land Cruiser Prado J150 (think Lexus 460/470 in the U.S. market) , with no lift, I carry a Takla air jack, and have the factory bottle jack with a few planks of wood and GoTreads to place under the jack.

Welcome Jan! Thanks for the great introduction! There is a lot of knowledge here to help you on the way. The Mid-Europe group is pretty active. Please check the Rally points for the upcoming meets. Hope to see you at one soon! I’d love to see a picture of your rig. I’ve never heard of the Saab...
Welcome from Germany Dominic! There is a wealth of knowledge about overlanding here! Less info on fly fishing. You can certainly teach us something. Safe travels!
