some 4x4 questions - 76 bronco

[buckstone]

i'm a new (and pretty green) bronco owner. after i get it registered, etc - eventually looking to take the bronco out for some 4x4. some questions:

1. what kind of jack -and how high should i buy. any tips on suppliers?

2. any tips on how best to mount 1-2 extra jerry cans of gasoline to the bronco? inside back or above tailgate?

3. regs require spark arrestors in CA. any ideas on what brands to look for - well suited for bronco. and price?

any other recommendations?

thanks.

1 get a Hi-lift jack they are the most versitle jack out there well worth the price
2. Never put gas cans inside the bronco. there are several companies that sell bumpers with tire/gas can carriers that would be a good option but better yet is buy an aftermarket gas tank most are 23-25 gallons there are also 11 gallon aux tanks availible.
3. Not sure about the spark arrester issue I would think that your standard muffler would suffice if not I'm sure that the state would have a website listing the approved spark arresters

I recommend that you move out of CA. but, really have fun and enjoy your bronco I'm sure as time goes on and you learn more about your bronco you'll discover what you'll need or want its hard to recommend much because everyone wheels different and what one person needs another may not. But I think the Hi-lift Jack is something that everyone would recommend. along with at least a basic tool kit and extra water just in case.
