Question: ARB hydraulic LIFT: does anyone have experience with mounting this to their jeep? Or any concerns/experience with storing it horizontally?
I purchased an ARB hydraulic LIFT, extremely expensive by the way, but by all reports/reviews much safer than a hi-low jack. PROBLEM: The manual for this jack states "It is recommended that the jack is stored in a vertical position", and a search on-line suggest that due to the hydraulics, oil, seals etc. in this JACK, this is the reason it needs to be stored vertical, so as to not leak oil (?), to not muck up the hydraulics (?).
QUESTION:: 1) Does anyone have any experience/awareness of any pre-fabricated mounts for this (over-priced, but safer) jack--to mount it vertically? 2) Has anyone had experience with this jack storing it horizontally, and with/without any issues to the jack?
I have a 2021 JLURD, currently in the shop getting significant upgrades (MetalCloak GC 3.5 inch lift, 37" tires, regearing, new bumpers, winch; etc.
I have ordered/waiting for a Vector Off-road GGB rear cargo shelf which will limit any points to mount this ARB jack in the back.
A search online for pre-fabed mounts comes up with nothing. Two emails to ARB customer services asking for mounting vertical solutions--no answer. I had planned just to have this jack in the back cargo area. So back to the Questions: 1) anyone have any experience mounting this ARB jack vertically? and 2) if you've had this jack and stored it horizontally (i.e. in the cargo area) have you had any problems with this jack?
I'm attaching 3 pictures-- 1) the white jeep is not my jeep, but a picture of the Vector rear cargo shelf that I'll have in soon--there does appear to be enough room between the shelf and the swing gate to mount this jack standing up--if there is a pre-fabed mounting solution? Otherwise I may have someone manufacture up something. The other two pictures, 2) and 3) are of my rig--a few more upgrades to be done before I get it out of the shop--MetalCloak outer/inner Overland fenders power coated black
to match the bumpers to be installed, and the MetalCloak Undercloak skid plate system .
