All i have here is those 2 toolboxs, and the scissor jack. Im not new to this work so i can get by with minimal tools. But yes it isnt as nice as back home, and impact gunning everything/ 3 pump lift floor jack and all.
At least put your wheel under the chassis to protect you when the jack lives up to its name "the widowmaker".

Do you not have any friends you can borrow a hydraulic jack and jack stands (3 Ton stands are not that expensive) from?
At least toss the tire under the car.
