Birthdays can be a good thing, even when you're getting older. Thanks for the Hi-Lift Dad! 8)

Don't see that being a problem, the Hi-Lift has got to be stronger than the paper thin bumper it's attached too. ;D

Hilifts are hard to break.

Mines a ratty old thing, and its still going strong. (don't worry I make sure its safe to use)


That’s a cool mounting system you got there.

I think I'm going to copy that for my rear bumper.  Better than using ratchet straps  ;)

Make sure you know where you're going to attach it to your rig BEFORE you need it.  Working things out at home beats finding out your limitations on the trail.

I suggest getting a bumper attachment or the new wheel hooks for it.  Then practice.

I have used my highlift dozens of times but only once to get my truck unstuck.  I have used it as a post remover, fence stretcher, spring compressor, and more.

Enjoy.

I found that my hi-lift mounted perfectly just in front of the rear seat, on my Sidekick.  I'll probably have to move it though, when I install my roll-cage.  :(

My Hi-Lift looks to be a hundred years old, still works but is stored in the garage. Just can't come up with a mount or a place to mount that I like.  :-/

I'm curious as to where you plan on putting the jack to lift it. Doesn't look like you have any points strong enough, is that the standard metalwotk its bolted to? On mine I can jack on the custom winch bumper or the rear towbar.

Yes, it's the standard bumper and I have already tried it on the front. I placed it near the mounting bracket. No problem at all, didn't bend a thing. I have a friend that wil soon be making my rockrails for the side and it will no longer be an issue.
