One Of The Best Recovery Tools

November 10, 2015

What happens when Sherman Pass gives you a gash on your new KO2 tires? You figure out how to use a high lift jack. Fortunately Joe and Jeremy used it before and were able to quickly change my flat tire. I personally had to YouTube how to use a high lift jack a few times before I got the hang of it. I will provide links below for the technical how-to from high lift jack, whereas I will cover my personal experiences with this awesome off-road tool.

Some people say you’re not really supposed to use a high lift jack to change tires, I say when you’re out in the middle of nowhere that’s the best damn tool you have. I personally don’t need to weigh down my jeep even more with blocks of wood and bottle jacks.  I actually leave my Hi-Lift Jack on my Front Runner rack just in case I get a flat.

Here’s a break down of my setup:

This Front Runner mount was especially made for the Hi-Lift Jack and can be adjusted to various sizes

 

The Hi-Lift Jack Off-Road Base (ORB) works great on any environment that requires a wider footprint for stabilization

Ever since opening the pages of National Geographic, watching Discovery Channel and seeing Indiana Jones - I automatically loved exploring the wild. It shaped me to become a marketeer (play on musketeer & marketer) with an internal compass for adventure.

Who is Calscadia?

The name Calscadia came from a portmanteau of the CAL from California where I reside and SCADIA for the Cascades, where I’m from originally as well as in reference to Cascade Locks where I adopted a beloved Bernese Mountain Dog. I started this website and social media as an outlet to talk about the adventures I take, the people I meet and the gear I abuse along the way. When I talk about gear, I’ll tell you what works, what doesn’t and why I came to that conclusion. I purchase my own gear, am not sponsored and won’t put ads on videos because I hate that as much as you do. I may get money from affiliate links but you’ll always know that in advance. Hopefully I’ll see you out there!
