Jacking the grenadier with a Hi-Lift jack?

[Major_B]

Heya all,
I’ve seen a lot of posts discussing mounting points for Hi-Lift jacks and I consider also having one but has anyone ever tried to jack a Grenadier with a Hi-Lift type of jacks? It seems hard given the jacking points are pretty far under the chassis and I’ve not been able to see a video online about it. Unless I’m missing something?
Thanks
Laurent

If you have alloys then the strap adaptor that you put through the spokes can lift a wheel.
Beyond that there is nothing to put the foot under unless you have suitable rocksliders.

One of the benefits of a decent set of rock sliders is the ability to use a jack on them along the side of the vehicle.

Indeed, would you qualify the ineos sliders as decent enough for jacking?

Can do that with the steelies as well with the strap + hooks. Probably the more likely use if I use that jack.

@Major_B - I would not hesitate to use the sliders and the Hi-lift if that was what was needed. Would need to be sure of a good contact.

Ineos themselves say they are suitable for jacking, as per their website (specific to the rock sliders): “They also provide a step for getting in and out. And for loading or unloading roof cargo. As well as an anchor point for the Hi-Lift Jack”

The Ineos supplied steps are quite strong enough to be used for a hilift jack

I've got the rock sliders and so far they have protected me well (a couple of bangs) but they do NOT function as a step. Unless you have a 3cm thick shoe tip that can fit between the tube and cab.

As people have said, there are plenty of ways to lift a Grenadier with a hi-lift... From the OEM slider (anywhere along the length), from aftermarket sliders that are rated for it, with something like the Hi-Lift Lift mate (assuming your wheels are compatible), or by just tossing a tree-saver strap around the back of the tire and lifting that way.

The best part about a hi-lift is that it is so much more than a lifting tool... (before the internet recovery police jumps down my throat, yes I understand the one in the photo is a knock off hi-lift, which I would never actually recommend and the bend radius on the synthetic line is tighter than 1:1 which is DRASTICALLY reducing the strength. But... you work with what's available when you have to)

Great pictures and thanks for the replies, very helpful thanks!

I'll add from experience, this may be true at the ends (I've never tried, but always have referred to them as the strongest OEM steps I've seen), but they cannot support the weight in the middle as we bent several of them during the US PTO2 tour from, uhhh, I'll call them "unintentional terrain encounters"

Yes, I can confirm that. In my opinion, the original steps are not bad. Even if there are some doubters here in the forum.

The OEM sliders are rated at 2T aren't they?
