Exhaust Recovery Air Jack 4000kg by Mean Mother

Bogged in soft sand, snow or mud is one of those moments where a standard trolley jack becomes useless dead weight in the tray. That's exactly the gap the Mean Mother Exhaust Recovery Air Jack fills: rated to 4000kg GVM, it uses your vehicle's own exhaust pressure, or a compressor if you'd rather, to lift a bogged wheel high enough that you can pack rocks, wood or a traction board underneath and drive out.

It's not a fiddly accessory. The lifting bag is built from heavy duty high tenacity nylon with a double layer reinforced surface and a plasticised PVC coating, and the triangular feet are shaped to bite into loose ground instead of sinking with it. Everything you need to run it, from hoses to gloves to a puncture kit, packs into the included zip bag so it lives in the back of the vehicle until you actually need it.

Worth being upfront: this is a serious recovery tool for genuinely stuck vehicles, not a swap for your factory jack on servicing day, and it only works if your exhaust system is in good condition.

  • Heavy duty high tenacity nylon shell with a plasticised PVC coating, built to resist tearing

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an exhaust jack safe to use?

The air jack bag features a toughened double layer reinforced lifting surface and triangular feet designed to grip loose ground, and it is not intended to replace your vehicle's factory jack for routine tasks. As with any vehicle-lifting equipment, follow the included instruction manual, keep clear of the vehicle while it's under load, and inspect the exhaust hose and bag before each use.

What is an exhaust jack good for?

An exhaust jack like this one is designed for soft sand, mud or snow recoveries, where a standard trolley jack tends to sink instead of lifting the vehicle. It raises a bogged wheel high enough to pack rocks, wood or a traction aid underneath so you can drive out.

What are the limitations of this exhaust jack?

This exhaust jack relies on pressure from your vehicle's exhaust system, or an onboard or portable air compressor, to inflate. If the exhaust has any holes, spot-welded chrome extensions or gas leaks, it will not build enough pressure to lift the vehicle using the exhaust method, though the compressor option is unaffected. It is also intended as a recovery tool, not a replacement for the factory jack supplied with your vehicle.

How much weight can the Mean Mother Exhaust Jack lift?

This exhaust jack is rated to 4000kg maximum gross vehicle mass (GVM).

Do I need an air compressor to use it?

No. The jack can be inflated using your vehicle's own exhaust gases through the included hose, or with an onboard or portable air compressor if you prefer.

What's included with the Mean Mother Exhaust Jack?

It comes with a 5m exhaust hose, a 1m extension hose, an air compressor adaptor, a pair of leather gloves, a puncture repair kit (3 patches and glue), 2 protective mats, a carrying zipper storage bag and an instruction manual.

What condition does my exhaust need to be in to use this jack?

The exhaust must not have any holes, spot-welded chrome extensions or gas leaks, otherwise it will not build up enough pressure to inflate the bag. If you're unsure about your exhaust's condition, a qualified mechanic can check it before you rely on it for recovery.

What warranty comes with this exhaust jack?

This exhaust jack is covered by a 12 month manufacturer warranty.

Why Shop at 4x4 Down Under?

We know that you have a lot of options out there, and we’re incredibly grateful that you’re considering spending your hard earned money with us. We like to think we stand out from the crowd in a few ways.

Excellent & Honest Service

We try and provide the best pre and after sales service possible. If you have a question we’re here to help, and if we don’t know the answer we’ll tell you and then do our absolute best to find the answer for you. We’re also here to guide you to the best possible outcome for you. A lot of stores will simply try to up-sell you on the most expensive option. That’s not how we operate. We want to build a relationship with our customers, and the only way to do that is by being honest and direct.

4x4 Down Under is built on honesty and integrity. For example when you make a purchase with us we only charge your account once we confirm the product is ready for dispatch. Although we like to guarantee everything on our store is available we’re not perfect and mistakes do happen. If something turns out to not be available we’ll let you know immediately and you have the option to cancel your order or wait for more stock to arrive. Should you not want to wait the order is voided, and there’s no waiting a week to get your money back (it’s instant!).

Aussie and Proud!

We're Australians, and we like to support our fellow Australians, which is why all our products are sourced locally from the official Australian distributors. Nothing is imported directly and we don't stock any grey imports. This also means that all manufacturer warranties are fully honored by the brands themselves.

No Sales Gimmicks 

When you shop at 4x4 Down Under you don’t have to worry about:
  • Annoying and dishonest ’Sales Timers’ that simply reset every few hours and are there to coerce you into buying.
  • Dishonest “low stock” labels, another coercive sales gimmick.
  • False “John just bought a…” alerts. Our customer alerts (bottom left) are 100% true and we're proud of them.
  • Being bombarded by trust badges and labels everywhere you look that mean nothing. 
  • We don't spam! Your information is safe with us. It will never be shared or sold, or used to fill your inbox with garbage.

Fast Shipping with Insurance!

We've partnered with some of Australia's best couriers and freight agents to ensure your purchase reaches you in super-quick time. Once your order has been dispatched you'll receive tracking information which will allow you to track your order online every step of the way. And if something should happen to your order while in transit you can rest assured that it's insured and you won't lose a dime!
