Titan Exhaust Jack

[BigSwede]

BTW ARB makes a similar jack called the "Bushmaster X-jack". Costs more, though. Dunno if it is built better or what...generally ARB makes really good stuff.

You are so off here, Riff... Just because this pillow worked for Marlin does nothing to convince me I need one. The Hi-Lift/handyman jack is more versatile than any other jack ever created - the pillow does just ONE thing, it lifts a RUNNING vehicle. The Hi-Lift can act as a winch/come-along/hoist; it can be used as a clamp; the handle has been used by many to sleeve a bent tie rod; I have used it to keep a broken axle shaft from sliding out of its housing; I have used one to straighten a bent tie rod... You can even use it to help you build a fence. The Hi-Lift will never be replaced by a pillow as the preferred off-road jack.

... unless you have the "air hose adapter so I can fill with my CO2 bottle until I get the exhaust fixed" which I assume would allow you to lift without having the vehicle running. Otherwise I agree, there's no magic bullet for every conceivable purpose. But it does sound like an air jack would work for most conventional applications (i.e., not extreme offroading).

ya, what they said... glad the pillow worked well for you though chris. and im sure there are many applications that it would work much better than a hi-lift. so, my choice is to carry both

In response to getting a hole in it, I dunno about that. It is extremely thick, and if you had a doubt about sharp edge protection, there are those wonderful things in your truck that are rubber and carpet, I think they are called floor mats? Those could be used for protection if you deemed it required. I love mine, and will not be carrying a hi-lift jack, this way I can help others, even if they aren't driving a hi-lift friendly vehicle. I don't plan on building a fence anytime soon with my jack, and as for winching out, with an airbag, you just lift the truck and put something underneath, problem solved. But as always, to each his own. (At the meet, lots of people had farm jacks, I wwas the only one with an airbag, and half of them had never even seen one or heard of one, and you know how I like to roll, that alone made it worth it, them scratching their heads in doubt after trying to yank free a Rodeo, and less than 2 min later, I had him out and was putting my toy away)

I only roll like that when I am out to sea, "its not gay if you are underway", of course,guys in the yards have modified it with "its not gay if you are surrounded by grey"

Hey, I'm not trying to "burst your bubble" - PUN INTENDED! I never said this is a no-use aparatus, I'm sure it would come in handy on several occasions, like at children's birthday parties ...and for a VX and other SUV's with no "real jack points" and thin, light-weight tires in specific situations. But anyway, I wasn't talking to you! You got the unit, you used it, and you like it, good for you! I am talking to the only other guy that is as typically long-winded as either one of us! I am simply defending the Hi-Lift against the, "I have obviously never used either type of lifting device, nor been in a situation where I needed to, yet I maintain the Hi-Lift is not nearly as multi-versatile as this wonder-pillow, mindset". I mean, I truly realize my postings can be intimidating as I always write in a 'justification style, supported by facts' method... but really, all Riff can come up with is a heart and an exploding head? Truly disappointed, Brian...

Chris, I hope the Titan never lets you down... er, until you need to be let down.

Chris, I hope the Titan never lets you down...

thats why i say throw a hi-lift on your roof-rack or behind your seats and when you bubble pops you have a 'backup'
