Are you a real four wheeler if you DONT own a big shiny Hi-Lift?

Hi-Lift

I have never actually purchased a high lift but I've got three of em! They are awfully handy but I've only used one when I broke a rear spring and pinion yoke at the same time.
I got a shiny new one sitting in the garage from Christmas. To bad the truck it’s meant for is broken down in there also.
It doesn't count until the jack is covered in mud and scratches.
I got one but it is far from shiny. I have used mine for about everything else but jacking the truck up. Lol
It's mall crawling until you smash one.
I've owned the same hi-lift for 20yrs now, a shot of wd40 and it runs like new. I agree, they're better tools than jacks, I never work under a truck on a hi-lift but I use them to move trucks on the trail.
Apparently the requirement is to buy the jack and then mount it on your hood.
Right under the LED pods.

Didn't expect this many replies, living in southern California I sometimes think you get a Hi-Lift and hood mount with the purchase of a JK. Thanks for the laughs.
The only high jacks I ever see are on nice, clean and shiny rubicons, oh, the high jacks look the same, nice, clean and shiny

I've used them alot.
If using as a jack run a strap under the axle so it doesn't go to full droop, don't have to lift the vehicle nearly as high

I bought one years ago. Used it twice on the trail. Once to free the truck from being high centered on the gas tank skid. The other time the truck was nosed into a ditch in the snow and tried to jack it up to free it. Both times a winch would have been better to pull the truck out of the problem.
I never carry mine anymore. I use a small bottle jack for tire changes on the trail.

Hi-lifts are way too valuable on the trail to leave behind IMO.
Being serious oes anyone have experience with using a exhaust jack on the trail or seen one in use? I like the concept of it but not sure of the performance on the trail. If a bottle jack and a plywood base are enough for most situations I'll save my money for fuzzy dice and light bars.

Fuzzy dice are mandatory in my trucks, spend your money there first. Square dice in a square truck, it's just meant to be.
it was discussed a little bit in a recent thread. https://ck5.com/forums/threads/on-the-trail-jacking.341905/
