i have ALLWAYS carried a highlift jack with me in my truck's. Now with upgrading (er. sidegrading) to the explorer from my mazda reg cab short box. i am attempting to keep it in the similare weight range. i have allready minimized alot of stuff in the truck and now it comes to the highlift.
I am torn between leaving it in the garage or finiding a good storage spot. I am only a couple hundred lbs heavier than where i would like to be and it all adds up fast. i do carry a bottle jack with me as well so changing a flat is no issue. i have a winch to recovermyself. and i'm sure i can come up with other ways to accomplish the tasks i have used the highlift for. but it does make some jobs much easier.
as of 4:30pm today the truck weighed 5120 with me in it. i would like to get it down around 4700lbs which i think is seriously doable. one big thing i would like to do for more reasons than just weight is to swap out from power windows and locks to manual. anyone have any input on that?
Oh and for those that think i wasnt too serious about carrying my highlift, it wasnt an option in my last truck as it would look really silly if i left it at home on the.
i guess i'm just currious how many others carry one with them
