Ey up lads

I've got a V8 D1 and have seen people with Hi lift jacks on the rear door.

I cant see how they could be used to jack up the vehicle (am i stupid   :oops:) or

do brackets need fabricating.

Help please

wizard:
To use a Hi lift on a Disco you need either a winch bumper with "lifting" points built in to it or rock sliders also with lifting points.
You will also need a Jack adapter. This fits onto the Hi lift jack and slots into one of the lifting points.

wizard :twisted:

ianhwood:
Thanks Wizard,

I thought somthing like that would be needed :?:

:help:

boss:
highlift jacks=hate!  :evil:


i nearly broke my jaw with one! lucky escape and i was using it incorectly but its not impossible to happen again.
the stability they offer is non existant too! would rather buy a manly bottle jack!

Disco Matt:
But you can't use a bottle jack to winch/shift other stuff around/etc. I've used mine to lift tree trunks enough to get a chain around them for example.

They aren't suited to workshop use, and I wouldn't use one to change a wheel as they cannot be left unattended with a load on. But for what they're intended for they're a very handy piece of kit.
