ARB's
X-Jack
The
X-Jack is particularly well suited to use in sand,
mud and snow, and with a lifting capacity of 8800lb,
the exhaust operated X-Jack is an invaluable recovery
tool; providing up to 31" of vehicle lift.
We
had the chance to use the X-Jack in Johnson Valley,
California on very large and uneven rocks, and we
are convinced this is one essential tool you can
have on the trail. We changed tires in minutes,
even had to remove a fuel tank and it worked great
to lower and raise the tank into place half full
of fuel. The only limitation would be if you needed
to raise the chassis on a very high clearance vehicle.
But we simply put the X-Jack under the axle and
it was up in no time and proved extremely stable.
See pics below.
The
jack is inflated via a hose that connects to the
vehicle's tailpipe. As soon as the vehicle's engine
is started, the jack will start to inflate.
When
developing this product, the design engineers recognized
that conventional jacks were not suited to all types
of terrain. In unstable areas of mud, sand and snow,
the X-Jack offers a wider footprint to avoid sinking,
and uses specially designed, triangular shaped feet
to keep the unit firmly grounded. For ease and greater
stability, the X-Jack is designed to be safely placed
under the side of the body rather than positioned
under an axle like a traditional jack.
With
a triple layer top and hard core insert for added
protection and stability, this jack incorporates
a unique two way inflation system. This means that
either the exhaust or a portable air compressor
can be used, providing added control in determining
the rate and extent of lift. Collapsing flat for
convenient storage, the X-Jack is ideal for all
off road trips.
