Jackmate

[Brian McVickers]

Not sure if the Jackmate recently came under discussion on this forum or another but anyway... They usually run about $75-80 but I just stumbled upon them at the Ace Hardware website under farming equipment for $35!

even more savings if you factor in the free shipping to your local ace store

I have not used mine either, but I like nowing it is there. You never know when you need to do some unique rigging.

Well I had my chance to use it last weekend during our snow run to stabalize the truck from sliding into a tree in an off camber trail. It made tying the tree protector to the jack easy.

Tough run. We spent 3 hours going 0.5 Km's (about 0.3 miles). We had to use every bit of gear we had!

• Rear locker
• Snow chains
• Winch & Snatch Block
• Hi-Lift
• Shovel
• Tow strap, tree protector and chains

Unfortunately no pictures, too busy shovelling and getting unstuck!
Cheers,
P
