    Somehow I put a question about a winch in this thread, was wondering where my question went.
    08 GU Auto, TJM steel bar, TJM 2" lift, DP chip, Redarc dual batteries, UHF radio.

    Now to get some muddies and get it dirty.

    Go the bag,
    High lifts are called a "farm Jack" for a good reason. They should stay on the farm!!!!

    I agree. During the whole time i was into 4x4s, I've seen them used twice, and both times things turned pear shaped.

    I Vote for both. The one time i ever needed to use my exhaust bag we used a high lift with it. No way in hell i would get under a car, or guard even with just the bag. But both id trust more.
    They both have thier pros and cons, but id only use the old Trawala or the ARB high lift...

    I think that the high-lift jacks are probably the most dangerous piece of 4wd gear you could use. I use a good quality 15 ton bottle jack, an extension for it, a solid piece of flat wood for a base, and at least one jack stand. A safer method.

    Dangerous in the wrong hands bazza. And dangerous if you buy the cheap ones too.
