High Lift jack demonstrations.....

Post by Non Stick Nick » Mon Apr 19, 2010 2:38 pm

Thought I would post here as I have been asked to do this for other clubs.......

Anyone fancy a high lift jack demo, perhaps at a club meet or pub night?
I can show you the do's and don'ts of jacking!,
how to avoid these medical conditions....high lift thumb, high lift toe, & the best of the bunch, high lift chin!
or even how to winch with a high lift.

I will even show you a high lift doing an impression of a one winged red kite trying to take off from a Land Rover!

Cheers
Nick

Hi Nick,

Definitely up for that, especially using one as a winch, I know the theory but never seen or used one.

I know that you can use a highlift on your bumper, but can they be used one a standard D3 or could a well known company be able to manufacture hi lift jacking points easily :whistle:

If we Vidyo it do we have to do it in Welsh?

We could do a Video for those of us that speak properly, a T'Video for those up North and a Vidaaayoh for Bodsy. Well telford is nearly Birmingham. :oops:

There is using a highlift & the using a highlift on a D3/D4
My car is set up to be able to use a highlift on each of the four corners.
The ARB bumper sorts the front and jack adaptors at the back, sorted.
mmmmmmmm possible GNVP project?
I will pose in front of the camera if some one else can crank the handle.
There a lots of vids on utube of how to do it right but not many of how it can all go drastically wrong!

OK, seems that a few are interested.
Next thing is to set a time & place.
It doesn't take long so we could do it at the pub meet?
Thoughts anyone?
