I think they have them at atlantic british, it is a terrain master one. Someone tell me if i am right or wrong.   Brian Goodner (Bluewater) Senior Member Username: Bluewater Post Number: 311 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 02:14 pm:    you are right Chris skid plate with jack points   Leslie N.

Gotta go with aftermarket bumpers and sliders to really make a hi-lift more practical for true lifting. Can be used as a come-along, but, after doing that once, you'll want a winch... which, will be the perfect opportunity to get that aftermarket bumper..... -L   Peter Matusov (Pmatusov) Senior Member Username: Pmatusov Post Number: 880 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 05:59 pm:    Les, it was actually me who claimed it (maybe someone else), and I'd do it again with no hesitation. But, if somebody has to ask this question, the answer is... actually, i backtrack. hitch receiver is also a tricky place to use a hi-lift. peter   Leslie N.

I look at it this way.... I'm a lazy butt, but if my wife decided that she was gonna use the jack to lift her Disco, then, would I be comfortable with her doing it, or would I bother to get up and go do it for her? If I thought that there's not any likelihood of her getting hurt, then I'd let her go ahead. With a wheel, or the receiver, I might use it myself, but I wouldn't let her, so, no, I can't in good conscience suggest to someone else to do the same. FWIW.... -L
