Adding highlift points?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
'Jack-Mates' for the front, as discussed here

Very unobtrusive

Range Rover Blues:
Yes I've seen those before, a very good idea but I have to aggree that a Hi-Lift has to be used with caution.  If I'm using one to change a wheel I have it right at the end of the bumper for the front and in the rock-slider for the rear.  Of course this means another £25 on the adapter, but you need it anyway.

bambamjj:
Thanks for the advice, dont want them to use on the vehicle all the time but i have had a trolley jack fail on me (Rated at 3 tons) when i had my Range Rover, just getting up to height to place stands underneath and it went bang like a gun.

Once again thanks.

Range Rover Blues:
I like to go up in stages if I'm jacking to any height and I don't take the wheels off 'till I'm happy.  Just a tip but I also like to remove the axle stand with the trolley jack handle rather than reach underneath.

Bulli:
Double up if you can on lifting anything, When i am working on the wheels i have a set of road wheels which i put under either the bumper or rock sliders.I use axle stands aswell but if im under the car all day(like fitting 3 link) then i find the wedge of tyres reassuring.
I wouldnt be able to lift mine with a bottle jack unless i use waffles under it....like when i ripped the side out of one of my simexes at Langdale!
