WARNING: Don't drink and eBay.

I can't help it if I have good taste. Unfortunately I'm lazy and don't make enough money. But sometimes I find myself with nice interesting things in the mail sometimes, and sometimes I don't even remember ordering them. This one I'll remember though.

I needed a jack for my truck as it didn't come with one. It's an f350 so I didn't want a screw or scissor jack that would be dangerous at best and flat inoperable at times of need. So, looking at what off road does. Most people buy a farm jack, of which I have 3 that I never use. Most people seem to never use them either. They kinda suck, but they handy sometimes. But changing a tyre on a 10k lb vehicle isn't their strong point.

Bottle jacks are the gold standard, but they have low lifting height and stability issues.

Then I discovered these.

The army was having difficulty changing tyres with hummers that had seen weight gains from armor. The factory jacks weren't cutting it. So bogert made a stab at it and beat out 18 other vendors offerings and won the contract.
Rated 8000 lbs and weighs 75 lbs. lifts from 5-19" and has detachable sand base. Too cool!

Anyway with all these wonderful things out there it's important to take care fellas.

Anybody on here have experience with these?

They look pretty cool!

Can we some kind of a price range on these jacks?:Wow1:

One of the guys on the Power Wagon Forum recently bought one, but no use reports yet. Original price was something like $2800, but they seem to pop up between $500 and maybe $1800 asking price, sometimes lower. I'm not sure of the exact configuration on these, but they use a cup and pin arrangement to engage the control arm on the H1, and that locks the jack into position for lifting. I have an H1 scissors jack for my PW, and it has a pin on the lifting pad, so I would guess that the Bogert hydraulic has a similar pin. I'm trying to figure out the best way to mod the scisssors jack so that it can be easily and safely used on the PW without modifying the truck. Bogert is willing to make a jack pad to fit over the pin, but I have not been able to work out the details yet.

Ok, fine. Now I gotta search for one of these things.

Mine is brand new, 325$ delivered and it's a marvel of engineering. Tested it out under the diesel and it lifted a front corner so easy I have no doubts in its ability to jack a fully loaded rig.
So, while it was expensive its a bargain compared to MSRP and I feel like I got a really nice thing that will come in handy for years to come. It goes without explaining that being able to raise and lower the load without being under the load is a HUGE benefit! Only thing that could take it down would be if it gets stolen from my vehicle. The cup thing will engage any nut or bolt thread sticking down quite securely. Not sure what will be the rear spot to jack, I may make an accessory axle cradle that slips into the cup or something.
Oh and it's range is actually 5-20"
Also comes with a nice duffel bag that I chose not to use.

Who changes a tire while taking fire on a vehicle with run flats? lame @$$ video smdh

I remember seeing those in the Army but honestly cant remember seeing anyone ever use one. I don't know what the reason, but there must have been a reason why.

 

[Paddy]

Maybe it was the runflats. I probably wouldn't stop to change a tire if I was under fire and had run flats lol. Unless it was my own vehicle
