Great addition! Thanks for the review and pictures.
Great addition! Thanks for the review and pictures.
Seems like a must have addition to our jeeps.
Had to use the xjack today.
I found one downfall (kind of minor)... I cut the protective mat when lifting Chris's WK today. I think it had to do with the frigid 11 degree temps though, so instead of flexing around the sharper objects it just cut into the cover. The jack worked fine... but I need to replace that cover. Just something to keep in mind.
I ment to tell you yesterday id be glad to replace that liner for you since it was my truck that damaged it. Im def sold on that jack! Changing a tire downhill with a hi-lift would have never worked

Thanks for the offer man, but don't sweat it. I actually just took everything out of the back of my jeep and snapped a few pics of the damage to add to the review.Originally Posted by EvilJager
I'll probably just order a replacement from mcmaster and get some more pliable rubber for the fridged temps.
Other than that, the only other thing I didn't like about the xjack was having to hook up the exhaust hose. It'd be better if there was just a plug or something to use when inflating with a compressor.... but then again, if it was a nice warm day it probably would have also been a non-factor. With frozen hands, every second matters! lol
These cuts were caused by the crossmember and bolts. The plastic was too cold to stretch around them so it split instead:
So if you're wheeling when its in the low teens... be extra careful where you place the jack. Though in our case we wouldn't have had a choice... regardless it got the job done!
I would send the company a pic of that and see what they say. So if you use the OBA the exhaust hose stays open? Couldn't you fold the hose a few times and put a rubber band around it? Or are you saying when using the exhaust hose you have to hold it on the pipe?
