Exclamation Hi-Lift Jacks CHEAP!

now that I have your attention, know that this is the only place I thought i could REASONABLY post (since the other for sale threads dont apply). harbor Freight Tools is dumping 48" Farm jacks (hi-lift style Jacks) for next to nothing!
Click here and scroll down a little and enjoy your new off road lift/jack/come-along/thief attractor!
48" jack = $40
normally $60

Here is my advice on this subject... DON'T DO IT!
I tried to cheap out with the exact hi-lift clone from HF. The second time I used it one of two main pins that make the dang thing operate broke and fell out. Upon closer inspection, the other pin was bent. Freakin' piece of junk! And I was only lifting my fairly light Wrangler. Thank god I wasn't using it to get underneath it. Since that experience, and the fact that I like all ten of my fingers and toes, I bought an actual Hi-Lift. I only use it while off road and never to get under the Jeep. They are useful as a jack or hand winch, but be careful out there people.

Perfect for situations like this... A buddy of mine slide sideways onto this rock.
You can see my hand on the jack that assisted the removal of the Jeep.

it's strictly for off road on my end too. i would NEVER get under a vehicle on a hi-lift brand, knock off, or the like. they are too damn unstable. period.

if your's fell apart, take it back for a free replacement.
