Recovery jacks...which one?

(1/3) > >>

Iain C:
I want to get a recovery jack, and have a few questions!

Firstly, is a 4' the biggest that will fit across the boot of a Disco?

Secondly, which one?  I have heard that really the only one worth having is a genuine Hi-Lift, although Jackall are also good but unbranded or T-Max should be avoided.

TBH it will not get used that much, it's more of a "just in case" item for changing a wheel or perhaps getting out of ruts or winching off a tree, what would people recommend?

What are essential accessories?  I'll need an adaptor to fit the lift points on my steering guard, do most people have a base plate or do people make their own?  Will a bungee do instead of the isolating rubber thingy?  And where do you keep yours?  I'm not keen on an external mount...I was thinking of bolting mounting plates to my boot floor...

Skibum346:
My 4' Jackall sits nicely along the back of the rear seat. The base rests against one wheel arch and the top of the rack slips nicely down between the seat and the other arch.

I've been racking my brains to come up with a storage solution inside a disco that means it's also easily to hand without digging our everything else. Not found one yet!

I think that I'm gonno go down the spare mount route, using a couple of series tailgate flip locks and a padlock. But that's still at the "drawing board in my head" stage!

Course... roof rack is the other option!
