Meet Jack

ARB's solution to the heavy and rattling Hi-Lift.
I spoke with Duffy yesterday at ARB headquarters in my town, it will be released at a later date, and there will be mounting options for your rig at a later date.
Would be nice if I could still use my FourTrek mounts on my ARB bumper.

Saw that on ARB's Facebook page. Don't know if it was an April fools joke or not but they posted the price would be $812 USD available in June. They never responded to anyone's comments so maybe it is going to be that expensive, it is arb.

I have heard it could be pricey, I hope not that much.
I live very close to ARB, so I will have to stop in there and have a look at one.

Here is their post for what it's worth. I can't see anyone buying one at 10x the price of a highlift unless you have gobs of money to throw away.

Apparently they are serious about the price. My highlift came with my runner and my warn vr8000 was 400 bucks on rebate. I could buy one front and one back for the price of their stupid jack.

Every mall crawler should have a matched pair of those, on side mounts. I expect that they'll market left hand and right hand ones.

No jack is worth a hundred dollars, but $800+, Wow!! . I guess there's a sucker born every minute.

LOL


I Won't deny a Highdraulic Jack this tall is an Interesting idea... But... it doesn't look half as useful as an actual HighLift jack.
AND it's set to sell for $800??
