Hi Lift Jack

[profdlp]

Anyone think it is crazy to mount one of these to my roof rack? I would like to have it and I figure others might too. My main concern is theft. Are there locks for these?

Yes there are different styles. Google hi lift locks and you’ll see a variety. I would use one if I had points for it but I don’t at this time.

I mounted mine to the side of my roof rack using the Hi-Lift Jack TM-700 1"-2" Adjustable Tube Mount. It's solid and doesn't wiggle at all. I ran some security cable through it and used a couple of padlocks for some small measure of theft deterrence, while maintaining fairly easy access to the lift.

That looks pretty much exactly like what I am after.

Practice your martial arts before you use one of those things. They have more ways to swing at you than a **** in an alley with a lead pipe; and they can throw a truck at you!

I've only found them usefull to shift a cabin into place.

Yes I have laughed so hard but also same time felt bad watching a lot of guys over the years use one. I had one 25 years ago and gave it away, mainly used it to stretch barbed wire in places couldn't get tractor into

"...t*h*u*g in an alley..."

I have one in the garage I used to use as an adjustable redneck mailbox post when my dad was in and out of wheelchairs and walkers…never thought to use it for fence work.

In all seriousness, I use a hydraulic floor Jack. A mini around town and a full size on excursions. Heavy and bulky sure, but with a pinch weld adapter and the wheels removed from the jack, is the best Jack you’ll never need.
