Americans all carry Hi Lifts mounted outside on bull bars or roof racks BECAUSE IT looks COOL when parked at Krogers, getting groceries!

[DesertFernweh]

Hi-lift jack, or as the say in Scottsdale, "A Hood Ornament"

Fantastic video! I once used an exhaust jack to hold my vehicle from rolling over on its side when it was sideways in a ditch till someone came to winch me out. It also provided some support, preventing the car from rolling while it was winched out.

One of the best presentations I’ve seen on any subject. Thank you for taking the time to do a great job.

The release valve on the bottle Jack has to be closed when storing it on it's side or the fluid will leak out.
Great video.

When using a farm jack I chain the suspension to limit travel. That way you don’t have to lift the jack as high to get a wheel up

Really glad I found your channel Ronny! As a complete noob to off-roading your vids explain things very completely and in a way a noob like me can get! I will be watching a lot of your stuff!!

[mrtittles]

For someone getting into 4WDing i like your channel, PCOR and 4WD Action. I like yours for all the tips and getting into more detail about things I actually have questions about. Cheers!!!

Awesome video dude, extremely informative as always. When I first heard of the exhaust Jack, I thought “what a joke, I can think of millions of reasons why that would never work in any application “but it was interesting to see that there are in fact a few uses for it

Hey Ron, just letting you know at 5:52 you said "this is where the bottle jack is superior" while you're putting the exhaust jack under the ranger :P

[twwtb]

I'm glad you mentioned having solid jacking points for the high-lift. I have seen many plastic SUVs driving around with those jacks mounted to roof or spare tire racks.

We still carry a scissor jack as well as a couple of bottle jacks because the scissor will get under when there is very little room
It will get under when a small bottle wont. Great advice on the vid.

[timwhite]

I just picked up a bottle jack buddy. They are back in stock and now powder coated. Great video!

[zamboni]

Thanks to your vids I’ve ditched the HiLift and only use a bottle jack (or 2); mainly because my vehicle doesn’t have adequate lift points. Don’t regret it! Thanks Ronnie!

[muzzaball]

Really comprehensive explanation, good info, sound advice, well done - thanks. 😊 I agree that highlift has limited use for most, and bottle is the most versatile. I rarely go sand and do not have a gasbag, but I see there value for others. Pressures and shovel are the bomb!

[simonevans]

I always carry around an old phone book for a jack plate & paper to light my fires.

Take a look at the Hi-Lift LM-100 Lift Mate! You can attach your Hi-Lift Jack to your wheels and lift your wheels. If you have jack stands, you can even change your tires! And it's always a good idea to use wheel chocks on the wheel diagonally opposite where your jacking. I hope this is helpful!

I looked at the ARB jack at Overland Expo and once I saw the price $795, I decided that it is not the jack for me. Great review on all of the different types of jacks. So much knowledge and experience on what to and what not to use. Thank you

[Adrian_Nel]

A hydraulic bottle jack should actually be stored in a basically upright position for longer term storage. Juss saying...
