Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Very funny , everybody that bags them , has one or can't use them properly. We have winched with them , lifted so many cars to change tyre's , I've lost count , Never had a car fall of one yet. Even driven off them fully raised when bellied on big rocks , used it to raise and lower my truck while building it , popped beads of rims , used it as a press and used it to jack out body parts after accidents. If used correctly they are one off the best tools to carry. Also they do suffer from dust , but its called maintenance , I call BS , Cheers Paul.

A std highlift is a 48 inch, but you can get 60's aswell for the lifted cruiser. They are good to use if you know what to expect and are cautious around them, you never trust them to hold a lift, just to do the lifting. They are good for righting your 4b when iot has skewed sideways, just lift and push over....gets you out of ruts easily. off rocks easily....puts dints in panels easily
My house has a dinted panel from the cruiser off a high lift.

Yeah no worries Paul, I have no idea what I'm talking about, I've done all of that too, but I still think they're dumb and unsafe.

x many 100's.

18 something years ago I saw this guy use a highlift for its intended purpose. It slipped off while he was using it and whacked him on the sheen. Took a chunk of flesh off.

After I saw, I would never touch one.

He obviously didn't have one or know how to use it

I've seen nasty face injuries from the handle slipping out of the users hand (sweaty hands) when lowering.

I dont thinlk he knew what he was doing either.

I was just a passenger in another vehicle on a trip through Yalwal.
