HiLift

<< < (4/6) > >>

Mace:
I used to have mine inside the boot area on the floor. I replaced the whole rubber mat stuff (sponge) with marine 5 ply and bolted it to the floor panels. I then put big bolts through the ply to hold the jack across the load area just inside the door. Worked a treat.

I've now got mine on my SD roofrack like Dave & Wizard.

Have none of you had any misshaps with the jack being on the back door? It must play havock with your departure angle. I've clouted my rear bumper loads of times and bent it up hard against the spare wheel. The rear door on mine is now pushed in slightly from the force. Sticking a jack out in the wind behind must be asking for damage.

Kenny:
Hey not fair, not enough options. I would say not on a Discovery as they aint real off roaders. Stick to the bottle jack and leave the hi-lifts (farm jacks) to the real off road vehicles, the Defenders  :twisted:

Dave:
As Julie said mine is on the roofrack quick and easy ish to get off. If you have not got a rack i would stow it inside the car cleaner and safe. Its a lot of weight to carry on an already heavy rear door and if you have big tyres as well  :shock: Some do thought with apparently no bother.
