ARB "Hi-Lift"

Looks like someone finally took a shot at reinventing the Hi-Lift. Bout time. Although at over $800 I'll never own one.

 

Yeah. I'm on ARB email list and got that. Way cool but...$800? Whew..Them Aussies do come up with some decent off road stuff. and beer..

 

Seent this. I am highly considering it, but it’s tough to justify the cost. Especially since I can get a pro-eagle for half the cost and use it in my garage for my crawler too. It is ARB though, so I’m sure it’s engineered very well and no cost spared on materials and QC.

 

4x the cost +/-.
Seals that can leak.
More moving parts.
Aluminum that can dent.
Limited resources for parts and service.

I actually put enough wear on my first hi-lift that I needed to replace the lifting pins and springs. What do you think about the odds of this jack still going in 30 years?

This is a perfect tool for the mall magician that wants another shiny bauble.

 

Can't argue with that! Hard to beat a Hi Lift. Spare lift pins and springs don't take up much space either.

 

Thats really nice looking but christ its expensive. A lot of good points brought up here as well.

 

It seems like a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist.

 

Someone could ultimately have the problem that they have too much money.... this is a solution to that!
