[QUOTE="Mr. Bi-Polar, post: 431185"] As part of my weird way of thinking, I wanted to buy (2) 36'' hi-lift jacks and mount these on both sides of the jeep. [ATTACH type="full" width="415px" alt="imageedit_3_2336549274.jpg"]117142[/ATTACH] Most would ask, why 2 jacks? and why so short? method to my madness I guess. None the less I purchase 2 sets of the EAG side door brackets which allowed em to remove the hinges and find time to repaint them like I did the tailgate hinges. [ATTACH type="full" width="457px" alt="F199316512.jpg"]117141[/ATTACH] After repainting both sides of the jeep and designing a better shim to place between the door and bracket, I was ready to mount the Black/gold 36'' hi-lift jack on our jeep. if you don't have a hi-lift on or in your jeep, be prepared to be followed even hounded by the police. because our "black" jacks were mounted on the outside of the jeep, Police routinely followed us for several days. later I learn those who do not know what a hi-lift is, would call the police say we have some sort of machine gun mounted on our jeep and this was not the first time we've been followed or hounded because of this. I didn't give up mounting the jacks because of the police, I gave up, because the jacks were too heavy, not knowing that the drag link etc was failing anyway. I ended up selling the jacks, but later contacted Hi-lift them selves and purchase just the black jack rod and mount just the rod support on the jeep. Only 20.00 buck, I'll be ordering the second black rod in a few weeks. These jacks are just too heavy for me to lift anymore and I'm perfectly happy with my 2 ton floor jack in the jeep 24/7, But hell let the idiots think I have machine guns mounted to the jeep, this way they'll keep the hell away from us.
