ARB Hydraulic hi-lift JACK
Has anyone got one of these or seen how they perform? No stuff like your aunty heard about one or similar, actually used one, want to understand the advantages, they seem safer to use in some ways that the potential for the kangaroo tail action of the standard hi-lift that almost took my head off recently.

Still only as good the jacking points on the vehicle, but damn, they look easier and safer to use. And at a big price! Watch the video on ARB's website.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Thanks Craig, they certainly look a lot more controlled n raise and lower, mount locations obviously a player in how risky the big lifts are, waiting for them to come back in stock at Patrol a Part but after first hand experience as they are expensive

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.

Who in their right mind would bother considering taking their shed trolley jack on holidays.
OEM bottle Jacks, in OEM situ position are awesome for all sorts of rugged mechanical work albeit horrible for safely lifting off hard ground.
Agreed, Hi-Lift quality/maintained mechanical jacks shouldn’t be used on can opening Beautiful Y62’s and the like but old utes, trailers with care nothing beats them IMHO.

Harsh. Lol. I only posted that vid as he specifically uses the ARB Jack, it's the only vid I've seen one in action. I agreed the Exhaust Jack is standard inclusion in both cars.
I liked that vid for the 62 though as that is how I found it. 8 have followed his direction and have a Bottle Jack from a GU and a Jack extension kit for the 62.
