I have a 1994 TF Rodeo with a alloy Bullbar and was wondering how to jack the vehicle from the front with a highlift jack as I am led to believe the alloy bar is not up to the task. So Rodeo owners without a steel bullbar how have you made it possible to jack the front up or is the steel bullbar the best solution ?

What I should have asked probably is what method of solo recovery do you use. Not being able to snatch out the vehicle I figure the wau out is up. Maybe these exhaust jacks are more reliable and robust than I think

The best way to lift the front or back of any vehicle is with a good jack under the chassis or the axle.
Forget the high lift, they are not worth the trouble to store safely in the vehicle.
If you want a jack that will lift the side of the vehicle up, try a exhaust jack.

I must agree with Bucky & Wayne, While I have one & use it around the
farm I
dont find it very useful with 4wd. They can be dangerous, are heavy & awkward to
carry, location points on 4WD are not easy, as you have discovered, & they are very
unstable. Never get under a 4by supported by one of these. Generally they appear
to be more ornamental than useful when you consider the size & weight....oldbaz.

There are a couple of attachments made for high lift jacks that fit to the hub in the centre of the wheel or with two hooks that go through slots in the wheels. Makes the jack lift from a low point on the vehicle and you only lift the bogged wheel not the whole
suspension of the car first and then the wheel. This way you can lift the axle with a flat tyre and get your normal jack under it.
