Anybody know who locally (Seattle) has affordable HiJacks? Thanks, Mark

 

Hi Mark, you probably won't find anyone cheaper than Central 4WD for the jack.
That is where I got mine, at the Kent store.
Not sure if that is closer to you, or the Everett store.

Ever been in there? I always have to wipe the drool off my chin when I leave

I have bought most of my gear there including the bumper & winch.
They advertise that they will match or beat anyone elses prices.
You'd probably want the 48" one like mine.


I also picked up the Off Road Base when I was there.


You could make one out of plywood, but I like the fact it fits the jack just right, and I store it right behind my seat all the time.

You will want the red one too. That is the "cast" jack. The black steel one is not as strong.

 

I just browsed the Central store and was impressed at the equipment they have. Thanks for the recommendation. I do think Everett is closer to me than Kent. Thanks, Mark

 

Hey Mark did you ever get some shocks?? I have a deal for you L.S. shocks RMX mono tubes $40.00 each brand new....Let me know.

 

Paul thanks for the offer. I'm thinking ahead on the shocks. For spending money- right now I'm trying to solve the lumpy tire problem and the shudder when hitting a bump. For the latter, I'm going to try a steering stabilizer first, then replace the rubber body mounts with polyurethane. I can do both of those for less than $100.

 

Harbor Freight Tools sells a "Farm Jack" for around $40. I don't know if I'd trust it though.

 

Stay away from that pile from HF. Yes, when i did research to get mine(tallest one and sill too short for me,lol) central definately had the best prices for a retial/local store. Now, you might be able to find it mail order cheaper, but shipping will get ya.

 

Are you going to replace the factory steering stabilizer or and an aftermarket? If you need any help let me know. Les sells Hi-lift jacks also but may not be as cheap as Central.
