I think the High-Lift is a great piece of kit because of it's versatility, but when it comes to changing tires I definitely think there are better options.
I think the Safejack Starter Recovery kit should work great for me, I've added it to my list. Thanks again for sharing!
Hey Danster! Welcome to OB, we're glad to have you here.
Lightweight wheels will definitely help retain fuel mileage, although in my experience most tire upgrades (in relation to size and weight) normally make it harder to retain that efficiency, you may be able to gain some back with gearing...
This might be a little off topic, but Clay I think I have to go out on a limb here. I believe I remember you from an old forum that's since been taken down. I noticed your name and it stood out to me, you were a member on the Yakima Valley Truck Club, I believe? I hope you're doing well!
Welcome to OB, Tom! We're glad to have you here! I usually try to make it to Road Atlanta a few times a year, but never thought to see about any trails in that area. I'll have to add that to my list for our next camping trip there. Hope to see you around!
That Safejack looks like a real winner! I was just thinking about adding a bottle jack to my list since I don't like the idea of using the highlift for such an instance and the factory jack is no longer useful. I'll have to take a gander at Safejack and add one to my list. Thanks for sharing!

As far as the brand...
I'm interested to see the experiences here. When I was driving trucks over-the-road my truck had a Webasto bunk heater. This is actually something I've been considering for my rig since it is diesel powered and I wouldn't need another fuel source, and it would replace my buddy heater for the...
You'll have to share when you get them in, I may switch mine out if they shut off completely. I haven't had issues with mine draining the battery, but better safe than sorry!
Good call! I've found that that's pretty much all they get used for anyways, so the integration was pretty easy. I kept two just in case, and I have a Bluetooth FM transmitter that lives in one of mine. Keep in mind the circuit is live all the time so if it lights up like mine does they will...
Looks like a blast, I am supposed to be in Ohio this weekend but if that doesn't happen then I'd love to tag along!
You may want to double check the location for the start point, it's showing up in Alabama for me.
