ARB Jack Question

[Haelous]

Another point about the ARB Jack is that it cannot be mounted horizontally like the hi-lift Jack. ARB says the top has to be elevated slightly to avoid any leakage… i was planning on storing it behind the driver seat and secure it to the headrest, if I can get it to work on my car.

I wonder if Ford Performance sells this mount separately.

I replaced the OEM Rear D rings with https://www.hkoffroad.com/search?type=product,article,page&q=Bronco

Thanks. That is by far the best option I have seen so far. I did see the red piece a few weeks ago but did not know anybody made d rings for the rear. Very cool.

a bunch of companies sell it. But I do not like the design for many reasons. My OCD hurts looking at it lol plus I have a table and shelves back there that prevent the tailgate from closing if I had that mount.

Get it to work on your car? Guess it’s not for the Bronco then…

Yeah, but think how cool it will look in front of the wipers:

They will all say, "Now THERE'S an off-roader".

You have to wonder how many hoods / windshields get scratched, dinged, ruined with a mount like that

Recovery points?

Well if you look into aftermarket bumpers or sliders, thatll take care of your issue. Many bumpers come with a cutout for jacks like the ARB among others.

Also be careful with storing horizontally, theres a reason even ARB will tell you to store it vertically. I originally had this on order but even ARB didn't have mounting solutions so cancelled it and went with the king shock mechanical screw jack.

BTW, thats an awesome friend, hopefully youll never have to use it, but if you do, its a great tool to have.

We have a similar Radflo 37" jack and found it very useful when installing new front components. It fit where larger hi-lifts can't.

We have used hi-lifts on the trail, but you do need a good point to jack from. If you don't it does limit the usefulness.

Wonder if you couldn't rig it along the D-pillar somehow. I haven't seen anything - most common are next to spare tire, on the hood, or on a tray going between the D-pillars. But seems like with that angle you might have room just going right along the D-pillar and it wouldn't look horrible, i don't know.

I have an ARB jack and I use a metal D ring and the tow points. Works great. I installed the Mountains to Metal Molle panel in the rear. Jack is mounted standing up attached to the molle.

Hi there,

I just received mine and painted them black. Do you know the torque specs for the bolts? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks,

EDIT: HK Offroad just wrote back and confirmed that it is 59 lb/ft.
