==Description==
Built by Johnson Industries, the '''JI-50''', commonly known by its nickname "Jifty", was a commonplace design in the [[Federated Suns]] during the late [[thirty-first century]].<ref name=TRO:3075p62/>

The Jifty was used to bring repair capacities to broken and downed units in the field.<ref name=TRO:3075p62/>

The vehicle was primarily produced on [[New Syrtis]] at Johnson's auxiliary manufacturing wings, though by [[3069]] the Johnson Industries have given permits to smaller companies to manufacture them.<ref name=TRO:3075p62/>

The various invasions during the early parts of the [[Jihad]], had numbers of the Jifty fall into other factions' hands. This happened primarily during the Taurian invasion [[3067]] and House Liao's [[Operation THUNDERSTRIKE]] has spread the vehicle into the hands of neighboring factions.<ref name=TRO:3075p62/>

==Equipment and Capabilities==
The vehicle is equipped with a pair of [[lift hoist|lift hoists]] able to handle cargo or salvage. The vehicle has a crew of 6 with 2 serving as gunners for the Jifty's two light machine guns.<ref name=TRO:3075p62/>

==Cargo==
The Jifty is equipped with a cargo bay with 19.5 ton capacity with an accessible door in the rear.<ref name=TRO:3075p62/>

* JI-50 (Hoist) - Field modification that has all its weaponry dropped for a third lift hoist, but with reduced cargo capacity. BV (2.0) = 231<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 109</ref>

* JI-50 (MG) - Field modification that dropped the light machine guns for two standard [[machine gun]]s. BV (2.0) = 231<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 110</ref>

* JI-50 (ML) - Field modification that adds a pair of [[medium laser]]s added at the cost of its cargo capacity. BV (2.0) = 304<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 111</ref>

* JI-50 (Q-Vehicle) - Custom vehicle rumored to be designed for ambush busting. Exchanges its cargo capacity for its fill of eight [[SRM-4]] launchers and ammunition.<ref name=TRO:3075p62/> BV (2.0) = 523<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 112</ref>

* "[[Nifty]]" - Produced by [[Blue Bull Inc|Blue Bull, Inc.]], this vehicle is an [[ICE]]-powered knockoff of the [[Jifty]] that appeared during the Jihad.
