Tried this out in the backyard last night, it will definitely be onboard going forward.
This is the ARB Bushranger X Jack,
Bushranger X-Jack Complete Kit (72X10)
The information I found doing my research was a bit thin, but I decided to try it anyway. I'm pleased to report that the construction is good and it works as advertised.
There are two options for inflation:
1. Connect to the exhaust
2. Fill with air
Maybe it's because I work in a refinery, maybe it's because I have on board air, but I choose to use the air.
Everything is accessible from outside the van. Set up and operation is simple, and it met the goal of doing 90% of the work to get the van up to the point where a couple of clicks with the High Lift Jack makes everything stable to allow for changing the tire.
Here it is in place and partially inflated:
Here it is inflated. I could have taken it higher, but this is with almost all of the weight off the rear tire and at the point where I placed the High Lift.
And here it is with the High Lift Jack in place and me working it. A couple of clicks of the Hi Lift and the tire was an inch off the ground.
Note also the pry bar extension inserted into the handle of the High Lift Jack. A little extra leverage made a big difference and this pry bar will be coming along for the ride in the future also.
A lot of the advertising shows the X Jack being used to lift vehicles in sand and mud. I can't say I am looking forward to trying it in either situation, but I can say that I will be glad to have it with me if either of those "opportunities" present themselves in the future.
