Hi-Lift jack mounting

[Felix808]

@xrack is a very high quality American made product. The MFG is a Bronco owner and an avid fisherman. I own the over the spare Xrack. The tractions boards and everything else is locked and secured...

Maybe so, but they hang awful low

Felix808 is just pointing out that the average real off-roader would drag all the low mounted stuff off the back of it first time out. I understand it’s just a representation of what’s possible. Usually the receiver hitch is the first thing to drag even with nothing stuck in it. Anything hitch mounted kills departure angle.
My spare is almost dragging in the below picture.

For all you bottle/floor jack folks:; yes, they work great on level ground but there is no way I’m getting under a off angle vehicle on soft/rocky unstable ground to play with a jack that could slip at any time (yes I have seen floor jacks fall over)… would much rather have a hi lift tip over while I was up out of the way…also one selling point for the JCR bumpers and sliders I mounted are the “hi light jack points”…end of rant…all ya need to mount one is a couple solid mounted bolts to go through the jack…party on!

@xrack has many mounting options for the Bronco - Front and Back

Now you’re killing approach angle. Off-road much? Lol

Might as well match the rear, though I don't know which is worse

I’ve got mine mounted to the dedicated bracket that goes with the RTR Spare Tire Carrier - it puts the jack behind the spare tire tucked away. So now my pretty green farm jack can come on trips and generally sit their and rust as soon as humid air gets nearby.

Farm Jack also useful like a manual wench if you had to. Also +2 melee when used as a bludgeon

This bronco identifies as a snowplow…

Lol I just saw a completely decked out Tacoma with all of the overlanding gucci items, complete with the stickers still on them.

That fancy $600 shovel, spotless with the barcode and product detail sticker still on the shovel blade.

Back on topic, yeah we do not have any hi-lift jack points.

My last rig had them built in to the bumpers and sliders.

Overlanding-perfect opportunity for the aftermarket to get people to spend thousands on what can be done with a stock subaru and a $40 walmart tent.

I'm fascinated by those that throw a piece of trucker's rope in line. Wouldn't want to be around that.

I use a "fairly" cheap corded 12-volt electric bottle jack that happens to have a built-in air pump. I have nursed my truck out of all sorts of sticky spots in its 253 k miles. The reach is acceptable (14", I think), lifting from the designed points (well, maybe they weren't all designed for it ), and a hand-powered come-along, with a couple 5-ton strap extensions, to pull the truck are all I've used in 15 years. (The Dollhouse in Canyonlands NP isn't an easy drive.) Also have 6' 5-ton aluminum ramps and a shovel. And the factory jack is still there in case everything else fails.

The jack is really nice when I come across some tourist stuck in their *SUV*!

Cheers - Jon

Looks like a great beach setup. Up front away from the sand.
