Tongue jack from manual to electric for a few bucks. Cut of the crank cut a thread on the leftover pin put on a long nut with a set screw done. A friend welded a socket on the crank, so I can also use it manualy.   ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |

I was going to do something like this but I was not sure if my 19 volt drill would drive it. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition

You might also consider replacing your tongue jack with a jack that mounts on the side of the frame. It has an easy crank and a wheel attached which makes fine tuning your landing position much easier. I purchased ours for about $65. on Amazon.
