David, I am really just saying that one should not crawl under a car supported only on a hi-lift jack. Particularly something like a Patrol which is heavy and has a lot of articulation, when lifted front or rear. This is a very unstable situation, no matter how many rocks are placed against the wheels. Jacking on the rocksliders is a hell of a lot more stable.
Any jack is considered unsafe. You should not get under a vehicle unless it is supported by axle stands. Trolley jacks. Bottle jacks. Even scissor jacks to a certain extent. When using a hi-lift I always have someone stand holding the top of the jack for early warning if it starts to topple.davidvdm wrote:Peter Connan wrote:Unfortunately I also won't be available on the 29th,so I like Cedric's idea.

Agree, you just looking to commit suicide if you climb under any vehicle only being held up by a Hi-Lift. But by the same token, if a 500kg or a 2500kg hunk of metal falls on you and pins you to the ground, it's fairly much game over either way.
