I was having this exact conversation with myself this weekeknd while I was going through the massive amount of tools I've managed to stash in the Heep. I've used the Hi-Lift jack at home several times pulling t-posts, stretching wire and moving stuff but never needed it otherwise.

I've got 5.38 gears on 37s. Nothing weak about them, they take abuse just fine. Makes driving on the street nice.

I've safely removed / reinstalled my jack many times without issue but I can see for some it could be a problem holding something over their paint. Besides, the day I worry about the paint on my Heep hood will be the day I trade it for something nice.

I had assumed he didn't want the hood mount jack mount after the last comment.

Lots of companies sell the same one. Body Armor, Smittybilt SRC...

I've seen some people say they got some wind noise but I have none. I have a 50' LED above the windshield though - I think that breaks the wind up so it doesn't whistle on the rack.

I put a roof rack and side mounts on. Also did a front / rear camera mirror (no pics).

I'm on an Architects kick lately. Seeing red, for example. I generally like groups like I Prevail and King 810.

I understand completely, my friend. I bought mine recently and it's cost me over $4500 in updates and repairs already. Been in the shop for 3 of the 4 weeks I owned it. Once it's fixed the love will return.

I'm betting this can be solved much cheaper than buying a new vehicle, no matter the cause.

I pulled up to the car wash my wife uses on Friday, she was there getting her car detailed and I wanted to sit with her while it was being done. I guess the guy standing by the kiosk / barrier arm thought I wanted to go through the tunnel wash - the panic in his eyes was amusing.

The daily driver.

Living in Walmart corporate territory, the number of California and Texas drivers here is astounding. I had always assumed that people from TX would know how to get from A to B quickly - Nope. 10MPH under - in the left lane. California drivers... not much needs to be said there.

Welcome from Arkansas!

Managed to smack it pretty good on the first trip out. In my defense, the front locker stuck closed and my stock steering setup took a dump so I was having to back up / left a lot to turn right.
