Hi-Lift Jack Demonstration with Nena Barlow

[@trevorhoward6114]

Very well made video with great content! No annoying background music. I wish all vids were like yours. Thank you!

[@jennijun]

Yes, thank you for not having annoying music and just talking efficiently and effectively!

[@larrycole1991]

Great video! I'm new to off roading and never used a hilift jack but buying one today. Now I know what to do when needed! You rock 🤜🤛

[@cameronmorrison4519]

One of the best videos I have seen on the hi lift.

Much Respect, She Drives a Jeep and knows how to use a Hi-Lift, "The Perfect Woman" Seriously though I have Never seen a woman so well versed when it comes to Hi-Lifts, Hats off to you Nena WTG "Respect"

Ginger is fat, my JEEP weighs 2080 lbs. (unloaded).

[@joeallison2779]

A very nice review indeed. The fact that you talk about placement and safety above all else is greatly appreciated.

[@CalebErosa]

When doing a “body lift”, keep in mind it’s always an option to throw a ratchet strap around the axle and frame to prevent axle droop when lifting. Keeps center of gravity low when lifting for a safer lift.

[@grantmoon624]

This is awesome. I wish every how to video on KZbin followed your format. Nothing is worse than when I search for how to use a hilift jack and get a guy talking into a camera for 30 minutes about how smart he is with no jack or Jeep to be seen.

[@jennijun]

Hahahhahah on point

[@russellwood8750]

Great video very informative I think your parking brake was on when you were trying to winch with the jack. A couple of little tips I have that I do. 1. I use a base plate on my highlift jack I find not all the ground I’m on is solid so it comes in handy. 2. There are accessories for the highlift jack and by using them it can make the experience safer for example I lift a lot from my rock sliders and I have an attachment which cradles the cylinder pipe of the rock sliders better than the Jack by it’s self. 3. Whenever I’m jacking up from my rock sliders I always open the door this way if a jack does kick out it will fall into the cab, instead of it putting a nice dent in your door panel or even breaking your window. A couple of things I do differently.

[@rodx5571]

I would also suggest a good piece of wood under jack. I keep friction boards (think MAXX TRAXX but not that brand) that are designed for use with a high lift jack base. Even on asphalt use something under your jack. not a fan of high lift jacks, but they do have their uses.

Best demo of a hi-lift jack I've ever seen. Great info!

[@abouttime5000]

Well done Nena. The most comprehensive video on how to properly use an amazing tool.

[@haileysmemories1576]

Thanks for the vid. I just bought an old jeep with one of these mounted on the hood. Now I know better how to use it. Thanks again.

[@norberthaupt7214]

Nice job explaining. I have one of these and had no idea how it would work. Going to practice now.

[@Aaron-ge1hy]

Great demonstration. Thank you. 👍🏼

[@bobpurcell5662]

For safety a blanket (or even a jacket) should be thrown over the middle of the cable-this provides at least a moderate level of protection if the shackle, hook or cable breaks. This especially important as you are in direct line with it when using a jack this way.

[@Darkhorse_Actual]

Holy Cow!!! GreatJob! Incredibly impressed

[@blackdiamondoffthegrid8703]

It’s an Awesome demonstrations! Thank you Nena!

[@erikelle2212]

Great video!! Thank you. Now off to buy myself a hi lift jack.

[@MackOShaughnessy]

thanks Nena, this is a really great video

[@douglaswhite9004]

The High-Lift jack is an amazing tool and unfortunately very dangerous, so your insights are very helpful. I have one, but I found this nifty little bottle jack accessery called The Bottle Jack Buddy...It's very small and about a pound of 100% US made steel and it fits right on to the plunger of my bottle jack and lifts the vehicle from the axle and so its a super safe lift option on uneven ground and doesn't have to overcome the suspension to get a tire off the ground. I've even lifted from my rock rails and love it and it's only about $60. You should do a video using that product. I'm sure your video demonstration would be amazing! Thank you for offering these instructional videos.

[@ronfox5519]

Your comment reads like a sneaky advertisement. Are you affiliated with that company?

[@Rubi-gc4xm]

The underside of the body will blister using this jack with Rubi bars. Place a piece of cardboard between the body and slider before jacking to prevent the paint from blistering.

[@Rowganlife]

Thanks for the great video!

[@PeterGiard]

Ma'am I'm new to my 2024 Gladiator rubicon. I have factory installed rock guards installed on the pinch weld under the doors with Stock bumpers. Can a high lift jack be used on the rock slide guards? I hope this makes sense? The factory jack is used under the jeep on the axel. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks for making videos without all the fluff. Very informative.

[@t0m33r5]

ROFL now should that on a standard rangler?

[@kyledean8555]

What rails are you running to be able to jack from a Hi-Lift jack like that? Are they frame mounted?

[@franksmith2491]

Good morning and thanks for your time educating the world. Great information ! Lets not forget safety for that shiny door. Should that jack kick out, ( as we know that these jacks , although great, have a tendency to kick out because of the lacking base ) your door might have wished that you left it open. Otherwise ... well you know. Be safe !

[@KennethEverett_N]

Great demonstration. I was considering getting a come along, but this makes me think it would be better to get a high lift jack first. However, where would I find lift points on the side of a stock Sahara Unlimited JL with the factory running board?

[@butch93105]

Well done and great info. Thank you.

[@joshlemke735]

Very helpful information.

[@Dickwooten]

Thank you so much. I just bought one and the first thing I thought was "This thing'll hurt me!" I have a better idea of how to use it more safely.

If I'm pushing down on the handle of a 48" jack with 100 lbs., how much weight can I lift?

[@VickyLatorreArt]

Hi there, do you have any videos about the ABS System and traction control light on? Thanks for sharing.

[@TK0O0O0O0]

Good demonstration

[@BroadcastBuddy]

Excellent review and operation instructions. I bought the 48" Old school PJ Harrah edition, and it's very nice. I do not like the Chinese bolts though, promptly changed those out to grade 8 bolts and threw them in the garbage.

[@scoobysid04]

I know some people use 48 and some 60. I’m in the market for one and can’t decide on size. I’m running a 34 on a 3.5 suspension lift…..thank you in advance

[@Michael-yt3wz]

Very informative! Nice video

[@robertdavidson8229]

So would you happen to know if the 2020 rubicon rock sliders are okay to jack from?

[@robertwichner7310]

Great video, thanks!

[@oldsharkbythesea3962]

Awesome 👏

[@trekministries4327]

Hey, thank you for the great information. I'm building my hi lift kit. When using a winch extension, how to you adjust the length and reset? I like the look of your setup better than chain but I can't figure out how to perform multiple resets with winch line.

[@craigwojciechowski8322]

I’d like to know this too! Good question! How is the winch line extension adjustable? Thx!!

[@LWRC]

Given that there are small bottle jacks that can lift the axle rather than the entire body of the vehicle, it is much safer and easier. Lifting with a high lift jack has to overcome the entire suspension travel before that tire even begins to come off of the pavement!!!

[@l.a.m7645]

What size and brand wheels?

[@ARIAVIALLE]

Thank you.

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

If that is a 60" (5 ft) jack, how tall are you... 6 ft or so?

[@danoesq2]

Good tool, but I'll stick with my bottle jack since I don't do crazy shit with my Jeep. Just like to get where I'm going instead of proving what it can do. To each it's own😊

[@MartinLopez-ys5dm]

That's why I love my Russian Hi-Lift. It jacks however crusty it gets.

[@BroadcastBuddy]

*Oh, and when you winch, make sure to turn the top clamp parallel to the beam.* *The top clamps are pretty weak in that position*

[@boldlionpro2814]

Awesome!

[@crabbypadty393]

What if you have nerf bars not rock sliders on the Jeep? Where is a good side jacking point?

[@kowalski363]

Great video. Thank you.

[@clayed]

None of my hi lifts look that good. One supported a grinder for 15 years froze up solid soaked it in used motor oil for a year now working as it should.

[@ontplates]

My kind of Gal!

[@dandahermitseals5582]

They must be clean and very lubed and can be very stubborn bout climbing The cross pins do need oil..the have a tendency to bow as you increase height. Stay clear of the handle.. It'll kill you.

[@jeepschool]

Yes! Clean and lubed climbing pins and cross pins are key! They are very simple tools.

You never lifted the jeep of the ground let's see how high you need to lift the jeep and have the jack balance then talk safety.

[@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002]

Why is she standing like that in the beginning😂

[@dennisfant2620]

Get the jeep in the most unusual place you will be. Because Murphy don't care if your on flat ground or on the side of hill with mega ruts and a broke axle. No sense lifting the whole jeep and suspension. I chunked my high lift jack when I had to ratchet strap the front axle to the frame just to get the wheel off the ground to repair a broke axle and hub.

[@john.wick1]

Stanchion...... not standard.

[@BernardManansala]

These things a terrify me.

[@dr.e.jordanblanche8309]

All the more reason to learn how to use one safely.

[@jvalentine8376]

Sorry but that is not a safe way to use a high-lift jack. Putting it on that smooth bar where it can slide one way or the other if it's not balanced lifting is flirting with danger . Also wearing gloves is a bad idea using the lever on a high-lift as it invites loosing grip on the lever and taking your teeth out . The lifting nose of the jack needs to be secure in a socket , in a sling or located in some kind of notch to stop it sliding sideways . If you can't do that then use a different jack like a bottle jack on blocks under the chassis or axel .

[@mvblitzyo]

great how to video ! thanks .. and boys she's a lady ..
