geeze youre keen posting that pic of those jokers using that highlift on that white cruiser

What was wrong with the use of the High lift

What would you suggest was used instead Is that scenario, not exactly what we carry high lifts for.

you think thats bad, you should ask badnuz for a pic of the use of a high lift at welly anniversary trip.

if hes lost, remind him its the tyre off bead thing he had while I was trying to sleep and suzuki1k was sleeping and the use of a ratchet strop was involved, and doddzee was the main man etc etc etc

high lifts aren't the easiest things to use at the best of times, especially when theres no level ground

[badnuz]

excatly skid, if there was no hilift when i popped the tire i was in deep trouble, and we secured best we could from all angles... remember a pic may say a thousand words but its only a snapshot of a moment... ( aye bubba )

Awesome pics and videos guys, look forward to being a part of a future QBW!

[BIGK]

look where the highlift is positioned?
why didnt you put it under the side bars below the door?(a highlift works fine on tube!)
lower the centre of gravity the better (or you wana argue that point aswell)
nope im glad i stuck my nose in cos im still getting the last laugh

because the ground was uneven and 3 points of the truck on the ground was safer than 2 less chance of movement,where are you from dude come and play with us in rallywoods

ummmm, its on a tube





I may have tried to get it lower, but other than that it looks fine to me.

the thing I find with hi lifts and 4wds is that you generally have to lift quite high most times, just to get the blasted wheel off the ground, so the lower you can start it the better.

I can safely say that most times I have used a hi lift including on the flat garage floor, I have been worried about the angle it ends up on etc etc etc.

you just have to be cautious, which judging by the fact that there is nobody around the vehicle in question, looks like they were being careful.


my 2c worth

SKID


p.s. just to start another shit fight.

can anyone tell me if he had tubes in them tahs

[taz01]

nope tubeless then not now

[skid]

nope tubeless then not now

[BIGK]

the point has been missed so just forget it skid!

maybe you should have put up a pic and highlighted where you would have put the jack, coz theres not too many places on that truck.





and tony, I don't think he will be joining you in Rallywoods, as I think he lives across the ditch

Its easy to point finger about recovery methods ,when the photos don't show the lay of the land at all. as Taz said, Lifting the truck from the side rail would have meant lifting the whole down hill side of the truck. = less stability. the high lift was also locked in place by the front bar corner, meaning it couldn't side off the truck.

I have seen some shocking high lift recovery's, one of which left a mate of mine in hospital. The one in question was executed quickly and safely.

nope im glad i stuck my nose in cos im still getting the last laugh

The last Laugh you weren't there, you don't have all the facts, in my book you don't even have the right to comment

Gotta agree with you UBZ, there seem to be so many people who were'nt there with opinions on how things should have been done..At the end of the day WE were there.. WE knew what was going on... WE had the situation under control.. end of story... Next

[Sadam_Husain]

I'm with BIGK on this, you want to avoid posting pics of trucks on hilifts coz usually they always come out looking dodgy whether they are or they arent and then we end up with the whole defensive/offensive debate (again) and what is safe and what isnt safe and everybody views it differently?

Dunno.....maybe it is worthwhile for awareness and advocation longer term?

[abbo]

does anyone know the name of the guy that had the red cruiser that was up for sale . Name and number would be great mate has sold his ute and has cash thanks

Right! I took the photos in question. I posted the photos in question.

I was there and watched the whole proceedings. I have used Hi Lift jacks for as long as they have been out. The way this particular exercise was carried out was safe and secure. And as Tony pointed out, it is better to have 3 points of contact with the ground rather than 2, for stability, especially seeing as the ground was not flat.

It seems that almost every negative/derogatory comment has been made by people who were not only not at this exercise, but weren't even at Rallywoods!!!

Regardless of what the photo may show/not show, get facts right first before running away with the mouth. Thats all I'v got to say. End of story.

[Jerry]

yep good call.....end of story .... oh what are we goind to moan about now

Guess we have all the photos of BUBBA to look forward to

WHERE ARE ALL THE VIDEO's MIKE TOOK

There's always someone out to spoil things for everyone else isn't there... always someone with a chip on their shoulder that has nothing better to do than say something without thinking about it first. 4 pages! Pathetic....

Don't panic bigpigcruiser................ The stranger in the safety vest had things under control. He got on to the Anti-fun Brigade and told them of the urgent need to prevent this sort of unsafe driving take place at Rallywoods and also to request that this area be cordoned off to prevent it happing again...........





Just to give you a laugh this afternoon Skid, now I will get back to uploading photo's ....

Don't worry big pig cruiser the co-driver of the said truck gave the driver a good dressing down on his driving skills and informed him that when she did it she took the correct lines

Unfortunity all he heard was "nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag" and he learnt nothing from it.

Can you guys start another tread titled "ORE QUEENS BIRTHDAY WEEKEND PHOTOS AND VIDS" and put them all in there so I dont have to go through pages os SHIT
