Imagine the same photo in a Rutting Mud hole or Sand???? Murphy's law will alway put you in the worst spot when you need to fix it mate
Exhaust Jack 100% of the time, it is part of my Standard Recovery Equipment.
to do this with a Hi Lift i would have to lift the car from the front bar and allow for full suspension articulation to lift the wheel off the ground! That is a Long Way Up! Note the Exhaust jack is straight under the diff and the diff is nearly flat. all good and nice and safe.
**Note in the top pic that the rear suspension is not even articulating!! the car is nearly in a flat stance as it would sit in your driveway!!
Did you really broke your cv..??? You played it hard boss...really hard! What are the common causes cv to break anyway?

I nominate this thread for 'The Best Safety Pic'
Amazing!!!!Occasionally, I come across a thread that 'floats my boat' - and this is one of them. LOL.
From what I see in this pic and the comments from MR, he is not a risk taker and does what it takes to make his vehicle safe.
I'd suggest all Forum members and visitors have a really good look at this pic. You might learn something - as I did.
I have personally used both, and without any doubt, favour the 'exhaust jack'
With any form of lifting equipment, safety must be paramount and people should not be risk takers.
Complete concentration is required when using any lifting equipment- without being affected by alcohol, drugs or both, fatigued, hung over or dehydrated - to name a few.
I am so impressed with this thread that I'm publicly acknowledging MR, by offering him a prize - a pair of my pre-loved, washed, dried and folded spandies.
Well done, mate. Top effort!
Take care out there.

The correct inflation levels are really basic. You can inflate an exhaust jack off idle on a diesel! i did in the pics above! might have given it a slight rev but its not hard. In terms of amount of inflation! inflate till the car is high enough then stop Just like any other jack! They have a non-return valve so just make the adjustments and on your way. They do tend to go down very very slowly like most other jacks and every 5 or 10 minutes on a job like an emergency CV we just tickle her up a couple of inches whenever it needs it.
We even adjusted the height of the diff to stop the diff oil running out the swivel hub during the repair by lifting that little bit more

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
