We had one years ago when we first had a LC, and then sold the lot, but are looking at getting another.
They worked every bit the same as far as I am concerned.
I can remember a
young bloke calling in to see our son, and while he was inside we put it under one side of his car.
It lifted it right up and when he came out and seen it, he wondered what the hell was going on with his car.
Good trick to play on someone.

Had one before too, called a Bullbag I think, was giving my Dad a demo and when it was high enough I run around to turn off the engine, forgetting the bloody Turbo Timer so then there was a big scramble to get to it , menwhile the old man stood
well back, he thought it might explode....the Daughter was laughing the head off.

That would be a bit of a problem with the Turbo timer.
Your Dad won't ask for your help again.

If anyone is thinking of buying one of the bushranger exhaust jacks (or compressors like the maxair), Annaconda Stores are having a 25 to 30 % off sale at all stores tomorrow night (Thursday 6th) between 6 and 9 p.m. This includes all 4x4 equipment,
camping equipment and fridges (Engel & Waeco).
Cheers. Mick

I use various brands in three vehicles and find them to be ok.... But, had an Australian brand some years ago that was very narrow at the base and the vehicle was very unstable when jacked up - got rid of that brand ! Must be getting old... can't think of the brand - had an outline of Ned Kelly on it.

if you want a h/duty one go an see a inflatable boat builder & get one made out of Hypalon to the size you require it will last you years & will not puncture as easily as a PVC one,
mine is now over 25 years old & still going strong
they are great in sand
