So I have done it. Was a nissan man but have gone back to a 100 series GXL Tojo. I am leasing the vehicle and the winning quote are supplying a steel genuine Bbar (partly because I did not specify a brand and the lease companies prefer genuine products). Can anyone tell me if there are high lift jack jacking points on this bar? I would have prefered an ARB bar but they want $1700 for a winch bar and toyota is charging $1100. I do like the look of the TJM outback bar but if the gen bar is ok I will not put myself through the grief of changing the quote again (and I am scared to ask the price). Any opinions would be appreciated.
Justin

Dont worry about the jacking points with a tojo as they are compatible with hublifters. These are far superior to jacking points as they are lower to the ground and dont require you to lift the
suspension before lifting the vehicle.
A standard hi Lift is next to useless with jacking points. On flat ground a 100 series has around 30cm of
suspension travel and with the jacking pint around 45cm off the ground this doesnt leave much of the jack by the time the wheel is raised let alone get some decent lift.
Extrications i have done using Hi lifts and hublifters all have been using the top 3rd of the jack with some (with hangups) using all of the jack. These recoverys would have been much more difficult/immpossible using jacking points
