Review of ARB Bushranger X-Jack

[The BN Guy]

That's good to hear. We've already had a couple of fatal incidents in San Antonio where a jack failed and crushed the guy under his truck/car.

Exhaust Jacks are neat tools, very handy.

FWIF, I know the X-jack could lift better than what I needed it to do here.
Its a great product, Kurt, If you need any help testing the others we could run out to the dunes again
Nice write up 1leglance
Good luck!

Interesting variation on the theme on ebay. A "dump truck" use of the concept.

Interesting indeed...:suning:

Which ExPo venders sell these? I would like to got one soon too for a safer lifting option over my Hi-Lift.

The X-Jack is a great alternative to the Hi-Lift. This jack you can use everywhere unlike the Hi-Lift.

I meet up with 1leglance this weekend and was able to try out the X-jack. Very impressive. I was concerned it would not be able to get the front end off the ground with all of the articulation. Well no problems here. Just for information I have a 3" Poly Performance lift with 315/75/16 Goodyear MTR tires. I did have the electronic swaybar connected. This obviously helped with limiting the articulation. Well Thanks Lance for giving me a quick show.

Nice!

There really isnt any reason why one couldnt get a wheel off the ground, Like Kurt has said in this thread, Just put it under the axle, Like a bottle jack.
Kurt has also mentioned a few times that people have used them to move a vehicle away from an obstacle, Like a tree or something, By placing it between the vehicle and the obstacle of your choice.

FWIW Im glad I have one, I have a high lift as well, But really nowhere to put it with all the family stuff for a camping trip, Perhaps on the J-Moose

If it will lift your big dog JK surely it will lift my Mall Crawler. I think I need one

I bought my X-Jack from forum sponsor www.SierraExpeditions.com

I didn't know they had a port for a air source? I thought you just had to use the tail pipe only. Wonder how fast you can jack up your rig with C02? :hehe:

I have a Titan air jack (similar to the X-Jack) on order, and will be using my ob tank/compressor to fill it. I'll see how high it'll get my hummer (about 7500 lbs) and how fast and report back.

With a large V8 I would imagine it would fill up quickly, As you could see from my youtube video, we filled it with a 4cyl 4Runner.
OBA is certainly a nice option, But with the size of the valve I would think it would take at least as long as a 35" tire fill, But that is why you are going to test , right? :victory:
