4. At Sunset Campground to remove FreewayDan’s flat tire..
5. At Sunset Campground to break the bead on FreewayDan’s tire.
6. At Sunset Campground we used two Hi-Lifts so we could put the repaired tire on the rear axle and put a good tire on the front axle.
7. On the Miller Trail to move CJBrian’s rig off a rock
8. On the Miller Trail to help Chucks XJ reconnect his anti-sway bar link
9. At Alamo Campground to help Chucks XJ reinstall his front spring
We could have used a bottle jack in most of these cases, but at least once we took advantage of the Hi-Lift’s instability by lifting the stuck Jeep and then driving or towing the Jeep off of the jack. I'm convinced that a Hi-Lift is a useful tool but you must always be aware that it can be dangerous. Using a Hi-Lift on the trail is like going hunting with Vice President Cheney; you have to treat both with respect and be aware of the danger.
