    Yes, other than this issue (which, as I said, is a bit disappointing!), I'm very happy with them! Excellent on the road and the sand.
    I'm interested in your application of the hi-lift jack. I picked one up a while ago second hand, but haven't yet mounted it up and travelled with it, for the following reasons:
    - weight - bloody heavy bit of kit, not sure I want it either mounted on the roof or the one the spare and thus hanging on the door.
    - usage - not recommended for changing tires, very few places on my rig to lift anything, and, why would I?
    What have you used yours for, and where do you stow it?
    Look, when I say I'm disappointed with getting a hole in my sidewall, it is the first time this has happened to me and the rock was VERY sharp - might have happened to the toughest BFG/Cooper/etc...
    Cheers!
    Yes, the hi-lifts are f@#*ing heavy, especially when you want to reduce weight in the vehicle. Have not put it in/on the Prado for that reason, as I am always packed tight with other stuff.

    On my previous 80 series, I stored the hi-lift across the back floor, and used it to change a flat tyre. Used the tow bar as the jacking point. Easily lifted the side with the flat tyre, gave it a jiggle before the tyre was removed, but it was steady. (though not advising anyone else to do that, was the only way to get enough height to remove the flat tyre)

    On the Prado, I have a TJM steel bar, with jacking points on the front to fit the hi-lift (not used it though)

      Thanks ####, the sad bit is I haven't used mine for what I'd call off road, all of my real 4wding is done on MTZs. My Bridgestone 697 s have failed on outback trips on dirt roads. So much so that I have another Birdsville/ outback loop in a few weeks, and I'm considering running the MTZs since I've lost trust in the Bridgestone 697s.
