need suggestions for jack
My 05 Boxster had no jack, spare, lug wrench. It has never had these items, I'm puttin together a few things to remove a tire with if I have the need.
what type of small light weight jack should I look for?

Check with the porsche race shops near you. Alot of spec-boxsters getting stripped, no need for jack etc.

Sounds like you'd also need a tire to put back on
![]() Just wondering if folks currently have a "strong need" for these items or are just clinging to items of their past. I've driven porsches for over 20 years and never have I gotten a flat. Only at the track have I ever worried about removing a wheel as well. .. Just saying. Just make sure the spare you buy will fit your brake calipers. No point lugging all this *hit around to find out it won't fit ![]()

Had my Cayman for 3 months before first flat. Replaced tire at $400. Looking for a jack and spare to save the tire next time.

Used jacks on eBay typically run about $100 or so...
