Sonder 'n "wheel-buddy" is die Hi-Lift jack maar useless - jy lig die bak so hoog dan is die wiele nog op die grond. Beter om die wiel op te lig.

Die "wheel-buddy is the koop by die 4x4 plekke maar is redelik duur vir wat jy kry. Dis 'n bracket wat aan die Hi-Lift vas bout met 'n strap war deur die wiel se speke gaan. Die jack lig dan die wiel op sodat jy iets onder die wiel kan sit.
Kry nie nou die fotos van die een wat ek self gemaak het nie :redface:

I've got a wheel buddy. I have used my hi lift many times but sometimes its just dangerous to use the hi lift during situations when the vehicle is unstable. if all you need to do is lift a wheel to pack under it, the wheel buddy is great, as the remaining 3 wheels are still firmly planted on the ground, safe! I find that unless your hi lift point are truly spaced apart, both the offending wheel will lift, but also the opposite wheel to a degree. Obviously, the more wheel travel you have ,the less this will affect you. Anyway, wheel buddy is good when required, cheers.
