What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Andrew (cinan),

Sorry mate - thought about your Hi-lift mounting issue a bit more - my suggestion of utilising the 2 inverted "U"-shaped brackets on the bonnet just forward of the windscreen for supporting the windscreen when folded down won't work with your Snr Commander as it's a hardtop and therefore won't have the brackets AFAIK.

I did say it was a passing thought didn't I - straight in one side and out the other!

Regards

Dave

For anyone else contemplating replacing their PAS box, once all is undone, you remove the box through the top of t engine bay, not dropping it down below. That is, unless you want to raise the engine a bit to get it to clear.
Drop the new box in from the top too.
Or at least that is how it is wth civvy Isuzu One Tens.

I tried that method too but wasn't possible - the only way i could get it out was out the bottom by removing the pump as well. I"m assuming the county is different setup.

Hmm odd, I thought that the chassis was the same in that area. I'll have another look next auction.
I remember I did have to change the orientation of the box twice, maybe three times, to get it out-kind of like a 3D maze... It also threatens to break wrists whilst skinning knuckles, not a pleasant job. I've done mine twice :(

I did it at my friend's (diesel mechanic) workshop and with me underneath and him above we couldn't find a way to wiggle out the top. Anyway-it was pretty easy to remove the pump as only 3 bolts.

Would be interested to get ideas from photos and brackets that people have used to mount a HiLift.

One use for the Jack would be to use it to lift the draw bar of a heavy trailer upto the height of the Perentie trailer hitch !!

Leave the hi-lift at home I reckon....the previous owner had one fitted to my rig. The weight and awkwardness of them along with the number of times you actually need a hi-lift I stopped carrying mine years ago

Same here.

On a previous 110 I had two long 12mm dia bolts fixed to the floor under the rear bench seat. The hilift was held in place under the seat by fitting the jack's holes over the bolts, then screwing the jack down with two big wing nuts.

I haven't taken it or needed it on a trip for years.

I reckon you should take 2 hi-lift jacks- one for jacking up the vehicle and the 2nd for a friend(hopefully there's one with you) to jack the vehicle up to raise the vehicle off you - hopefully in time to save you.
