Hi lift adaptors
« on: December 10, 2007, 11:31:41 »
Hi

If he can get it down the chimney Santa is bringing me a 4' HiLift or equivalent this crimbo.  I have integrated jacking points on my steering guard for the tube thing to fit into, but nothing at the back.

Does anyone make a bolt on item for the rear?  To me the obvious solution would be some kind of bracket that mounts between the tow hitch and the drop plate (yes I know it get's in the way off road a bit but it's kinda useful for towing...)

I cant really justify an HD rear bumper but some bolt on goodie would be ueful...I'm mainly thinking for changing a tyre or perhaps for jacking it out of deep ruts.

Thanks

when I had my 110 I just took the tube adapter off and put the lifting foot under the rear crossmember. and for the disco I wrapped a short sling round the drop plate and attached a shackle to the other ends, which then fastened to the hilift.

If you wanted some thing permanent then a thick flat plate bolted between the chassis and the drop plate or even 2 ring bolts thru the top holes in the drop plate would do the job.

If santa is still stuck for more presents for you and you haven't already got some then a couple of heftey ratchet straps are a great (probably the best) way for turning a hilift jack into a winch. They are lighter and easier to use than chains or rope, plus you get vertually the full movement of winching out of the hilift as the ratchet takes up all the slack first.

You may be wondering when you will ever be that masakistic as to winch with a hilift and so was I untill this last month when I've ended up winching with my hilift 4 times #-o Only to recover my self once though and that because every one esle was too busy getting stuck to pull me out I hasten to add.



The rest of the time you use the ratchet straps for all the other uses they are good for.
