FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Demello High-Lift Mounts

I decided a Nor Cal'er should get these.
$50 or would trade for an empty 15 or 20lb gas cylinder (for home grown CO2).

We will also shortly be accepting bids on the BudBuilt skidplate that Brandon left behind my office...

I'd be scared to put my hi-lift jack on my roof rack. I heard that if you hit a big ditch, the impact might break the mounts to the roof and that's all bad.

Can you provide any re-assurance?

Cypilk, tater and dapit both use the demello clamps to put their hi-lifts on their roof rack. I use the garvin mounts to hold my hi lift on the stock roof rack. I've chased BZ around Mono Lake w/ the jack on my roof rack and it is still rock solid.

i would imagine you would have to hit that big ditch at a very high rate of speed or drop into it from very high above to break it. i would also imagine breaking the mounts would be the least of your concerns at that point.
