Although the look of the stock radio antenna may not be great it is useful as a height gauge when going into underground parking garages. (Don't ask how I know.)

@rvboyett5 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't recommend a Hi-Lift for a newbie Jeeper beyond anything but looks. Those things will kill you if you don't know what you're doing. Even experience off roaders will tell you that they either don't have a Hi-Lift or rarely use it to the point that the looks are the only real justification. But beyond that, good list.
@AmericanJeeper5 жыл бұрын
Thank you Rick! I agree that the hi-lift can be very dangerous and nothing to play around with. It my my absolute last resort after the bottle jack and scissor jack. I envision a more likely use is for recovery in the event of a winch failure while wheeling solo, which happening together I would say are pretty unlikely. Like all tools, firearms, vehicles, etc. the user owns the responsibility of learning the ins and outs of it as well as upside and potential dangers. Appreciate you watching 🇺🇸

Rhino doesn’t make a full solution, but Maximus-3 makes the brackets and also provides the Rhino Pioneer platform with it. I got mine through Northridge 4x4 but you can also order directly from Maximus-3. Mine is the long rack-they also have a short one. 300 pound dynamic weight limit and 900 pound static-not bad!
