Hi-lift gadgets compilation

[Stumpalump]

How about a compilation of all the gadgets available for a Hi-Lift?

Here is a one called a Tlift: http://www.tliftonline.com/

Nice idea - too bad it only fit a Fourd:wings:

The idea has its place though.

See http://www.hi-lift.com/accessories/index.html for the manufacturer's collection.

I consider necessary.

Tube Slider adapters:

OverlandXT
Wab-Fab

Base:

Wab-Fab's - Wabbit's Foot

Cover:

Hi-Lift Neoprene Cover

Handle Keeper:

Hi-Lift's
Daystar's

...Don't forget:

Blaster TDL - A dry lube is the secret to keeping it working that and covering the pins and springs. It's had years of riding in the back of my truck on dusty trails and exposed to weather (no garage the last 5 years.) I use it even at home to jack and never had a single malfunction. Many will soak it in WD-40 and it will work that time, but next time it has collected even more dirt and grime. Then they love to come on here and complain that they're all dangerous.

Slee Jac-Kof Tool

JackMate

Both great products.

The newest one was discussed in another post.
Its aimed at Fire Fighters but would be great for 4x4s

I still think one of the smartest things to buy is the little neoprene cover if you carry your jack outside the vehicle. I didn't use one for a few years and the difference in jack performance is phenomenal.

The daystar handle keeper sucks compared to the hi-lift brand handle keeper. The hi-lift brand allows you to remove it without unbolting the top D ring.

I've been leery of using a neoprene cover because I was afraid it would effectively hold moisture under the cover in rainy, humid conditions. It looks like a no brainer as far as keeping muddy grit and thick dust layers at bay but I still have reservations as far as moisture is concerned. Can anyone relay experiences?

At what...the post I quoted from? I am specifically asking for experiences in rainy or highly humid conditions. I didn't see anything "above" that satisfied my question.

I have the Neoprene cover for mine. It is definetly not waterproof but does great at keeping the mud and dust off of it during trail rides. I keep the jack workings well lubed with WD40 so I'm not to worried about the moisture duirng trail rides/outings. I do not leave the boot on during storage in the garage.

Rains a fair amount here in Maryland. Mine is stored outside my vehicle at all times with the cover. The area under the cover has far less rust than the areas outside the cover. I don't have to lube it but once a year or so now. Used to lube it every time I used it.

Bennyhana/ James good inputs, thanks.

I guess 5 years of rainfall isn't good enough?
