group buy: bushranger (arb) x-jack exhaust jack

[sixstringsteve]

After Kurt's display of his x-jack at the noob run I decided I want one. I talked with Kurt afterwards and he said there was a lot of interest in the product. If we get enough people commited, we could get a discounted group price. I'll let Kurt fill in the details as He gets them. who's interested?

 

[sixstringsteve]

anyone?

 

[DaveB]

I have thought about one.

 

[Stephen]

They are $225 regularly, what kind of discount would the group buy bring?

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'll let Kurt chime in on that one once he talks to ARB.

I've wanted one since the first time I used one 14 years ago, but cost has always been the restricting factor.

Alright folks, here is the deal. Rather than deal with quantities, time lines, deadlines, etc... I'm just going to offer these for $200 for any RME member for the next 2 weeks. I've got a couple in stock as of today but can have more here soon. First come, first serve on the ones in stock, the rest I can have on my next stock order late this week or early next. I wish there was more I could take off but there isn't much markup in their recovery gear. LMK

 

[sixstringsteve]

cool. PM sent. Thanks Kurt.

I have never seen one of these in action so I had to look it up and found this instructional video on youtube. Pretty cool!

I just ordered mine. Thanks Kurt.

I really like the ability to put it under your axle housing. Unless I tie my axle to my frame with a ratchet strap, I have to lift the bumper a good foot extra just to get the rear wheels off the ground. My hi-lift will max out before I can get my rear wheel off the ground.

I also love the fact that they're only operating at 15 psi, it's not like they're going to explode and kill you (though you should still use extreme caution with any jack.) I like that they can be patched, they inflate quickly, and they store small. And they're generally a lot safer to use than a hi-lift. I don't want my wife anywhere near my hi-lift, but I'd feel comfortable with her using this.

I'll still be carrying my hi-lift around for now as well, but I may eventually phase it out.

wow, that looks pretty awesome!

Thanks Steve, the two I had here in stock are spoken for but I've got 3 more that should be arriving on Friday.

 

[sixstringsteve]

beautiful. Maybe I could snag it from you when you go up AFC Friday night (even though I can't join you).

 

[cruiseroutfit]

That could work... ring me Friday so I remember.

Trick to lifting from the bumper... strap the axle to frame before lifting, that removes the suspension from the equation...

Or just get an exhaust jack.
