I'm trying to see how I can mount a hi-lift jack to my loadwarrior adn came across these
http://www.endroad.com/catalog/item/675042/295669.htm

has anyone used these or had another idea? I think I may have another mod in mind, but I'm gonna wait so I can test it first :chug:

Why is this under electrical?

Absolutely not. quickfists are not meant to secure large items like a hilift. I'm no physicist, but something which weighs say 50# static, will be around 2000# at a dead stop from 60 mph. They're great for internal truck use i.e.- flashlights, fire extinguishers, whatnot, but nothing that big or heavy.

yea I kinda thought so, and OOPS sorry for the location. It's been a rough day, if someone wants to move it, be my guest, oh and thanks mcampana for making me feel like an ass :la: although sometimes I do need to be told that

fwiw, quickfist is an excellent product when used for its intended applications..

I totally agree with this, yet there have been many people use them for hi-lifts and they are even marketed as such. I actually bought a couple pair and after looking them over and trying to strap one around the hi-lift, it ripped. I figured it wasn't really a safe way to mount it. I wasn't comfortable with it holding while just driving down the road, yet a lone if I should get into a wreck.

I also agree about the quickfists...I use mine for shovel and axe mounting only, but never a higlift. I bought this one for my rack, but I dont have a highlift.

yea I have seen that, but good gracious that thing is expensive. I'm stealing an idea from another site, when I get it finished, I'll post it on here, will cost A LOT less than $100

I have the yakima mount for the Hi Lift on my loadwarrior, it works great, not troubles yet. I also have the yakima shovel mount, works great. Both are pricey, but i figured I want them to stay there whether on or off road, and I've heard of quickfist breaking. Last thing you want to do is to drag your hi lift off the highway before hitting the trail.
