Thread: Hi Lift Jack lifting points on Puma

Those mounts are made by Dolium. Google them to see their full product range. Plenty of good stuff for Defenders.
All the products are available through Opposite Lock Stores.
Cheers, Martin

you can buy / make an adaptor for the high lift that uses the original LR jacking points

Hi Glenn,
U probly already know but the front jacking point are below the front bumper in line with the chasis rails. You just need to pull off the little rubber plugs. These are the round holes like in the back bumper so you still need the high lift jack adapter.
Cheers,
Chris

I bought one of these adapters through the Mulgo Expedition Centre.

Glenn,

That adaptor is an absolute must if you want to use a Hi-Lift jack, but keep in mind that its still very easy to do serious damage to yourself and your car if you're not familiar with a Hi-Lift... The easiest way to destroy your wheel arches is to use that wheel strap arrangement and the jack leaning into the lift or worse, slipping and pulling the top over.

I always find it rather amusing when you see a 200 Series Cruiser carrying a Hi-Lift without a single hard surface to lift on.

Yes, I always get a good laugh about this. And I see it so much! It's hilarious.

Also, remember that the jack can - and will - fall very easily to one side or the other. The risk of this is increased because 99% of defenders are jacked from the front or rear in the jack holes.. which means that it is more likely for both front or both rears to be lifted at the same time.. which IME means the thing will fall to one side or the other if you haven't double chocked both opposing tires.

Be very careful with hi-lifts, especially when you are jacking from the front or the rear.

I've really got to question the value of a High Lift Jack. I've had my one for about 8 years now and all I have really used it for is to move a chook shed. I don't like to use it to change tyres because of it's inherent instability, however I still carry it on a trip, (with the chain winching kit), "just in case". On some vehicles I see them fitted to it appears that they are there more as a statement than a tool.

Cheers,
