I nominate this thread for 'The Best Safety Pic'Originally Posted by MudRunnerTD
Changing a CV in the bush with the Exhaust Jack.
Would never go any other way. Note the wheel went under the car for safety and we ran the winch cable out to the side as we were on a side slope in this pic. Do that with a High lift or Bottle jack and feel safe? Good luck.
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.
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.
