Hi Lift / Kangaroo Jacks Warning

[hilux2.8]

Just spoke to a girly friend of mine. Her boyfriend has just smashed his jaw to peices suffering from concusion from using a highlift / kangaroo Jack.

He kept it secured to the outside of his 4wd, exposed to the elements, rusting away.

When he came to use it the pins slipped due to rust & he was leaning over the lever & whacko!

Smashed Face!

Bloo%y idiot

Anybody else got any similar stories

Nope, a Hilift is one of the most usefull peices of equipment in the world, and also the most dangerous in the hands those who havn't been bitten by one yet. Show it respect.

Mine lives outside, but its well lubed.

I wish I could stop being so childish.

I've never had cause to use mine yet. However, I'll get my co-driver to do all that sort of thing in true 'rally' tradition.

That's a point. Do you think if I spent a day only posting intelligent, serious replies, I might be able to get people edgy?
