Sensational Hi-Lift Jack Cover and Mount

Submitted: Wednesday, Aug 01, 2007 at 21:41

Member - 'Lucy'


Evening all (again)

While I am in a sharing mood tonight I thought I might give some joy to those people who have and use Hi-lift jacks only to find that they are full of Chit and won’t work immediately when they want them to.

I too, used to have this problem, but not any more with this sucker:



The black “jackguard” itself is a stand alone item. The two OEM stainless steel mounting brackets are an optional extra.

The two custom brackets on the door of the CT are my design and fitting for that one of purpose.

If I leave the CT, then I undo the one lock you see hanging down underneath on the passenger side, remove the "jackguard" and slide it into the Troopy without damaging anything inside.

Great, where do we get em?

Also, I can see the end of a pourer from a jerry can there. I have seen lots of camper trailers with jerrycans and the funnel stuck in the handle.

Do you leave it there?
Wouldn't it get full of crap, which would then end up in ur fuel tank?

Where do we get them - thats a very good question for you people that live on the '"dark side". I'll have to get back to you on that.

Jerry can pourer.

Yes! they do get a tad of crap in them.

I just tip a bit of water down them to flush out the solids, give it a few whacks on what ever pants I am wearing at the time to get most of whatever is left out and stick it on the jerry can and use it.

SWMBO is always beside herself about this, not because of Chit in the fuel, but about the pants. Comes unglued about it if she catches me.

Anyway back to the Chit in the fuel thing.

I have an ordinary inline petrol filter (the $2-3.00 jobbies from Super Theif) flus a Dual Unit CAV system which virtualy gets bugger all in it. The Inline filter gets change every 5000Kms as it does tend to pick up a lot of solids which you can see.

I just rely on the filters to do their job.

Muzzgit.

I originally contacted Jackguard in the USA and obtained the Aust importer details and contacted same here in Sydney.

There were only three, yes! (3) Aust distributors being the one in Sydney, one in Traralgon, Vic (Country - Gippsland Coalfields) and one other somewhere in NSW (I think from memory).

Anyway, the one in Traralgon is the TJM dealership which is approx an hour and half drive from my place.

So, one Saturday packed up SWMBO in the JEEP and we paid a visit after ringing to confirm they had same in stock.

Jackguard was Approx $120, Stainless Steel mounting bracket kit between $40-60.00

No dirt etc etc and very easy to handle/manage.

Richard.

Yes! I have seen that funnel setup, however it would absolutly give the Chits having to use it and for the minute amount of stuff getting in the fuel, well the filters can handle that, thats what I pay them to do. (LOL)

The dual CAV filter unit has glass inspection bowls which I check regularly and to date have found absolutely nothing.

If you wish tp pursue it, just email Jackguard for their Aust Distributor and they will give you same.

Just had a thought.

If you ring the TJM store in Traralgon, Vic they may be able to put you on to the Nat Importer/distributer.

They were very helpful to me.

When a couple of our group saw said "violin case" hanging on the back door of the camper at Warraweena they were moved to wonder what calibre weapon was housed inside it and did it take uranium-tipped anti-tank rounds!

Muddy, we never actually saw a jack, let alone a violin. I think you are closer to th etruth than any of the above. It was very suspicious and really Lucy led everyone off to talk of coffee and coffee makers if they enquired.

Sorry to disappoint you all, but I have had the priviledge of seeing inside the "violin case" and it does contain a jack and no other missiles as described above.
Mind you, I can't vouch for it's current use.

That would be the penultimate mission impossible.

For a starter the Chevission has 7,000 alarms and buzzers on it that must activate on startup and then shutdown before he(Roachie) deems all things safe and dares to drive off.
