Life from the X-jack's point of view

Nothing can compare to the look on someones face the first time they watch a giant orange marshmallow lift a corner of your rig off the ground. Ok it isn't really a marshmallow, and regardless of how it looks the ARB Bushranger X-Jack will get the job done quickly, safely, and in a variety of terrains.

Today as I was uninstalling the Total Vision Self Spotting System from the FJ Cruiser so we can transfer it to the new Sportsmobile it struck me as the perfect chance for a long term review. The system has worked perfectly and is so simple that I often use just like any other part of the truck, radio, gps, cruise control. The only feature I haven't made much use of is the ability to record to the laptop hard drive. I am just not a video guy, but if you are, then I am sure YouTube will welcome your under rig shots.

Ever since our ancestors discovered how to make a campfire, people have wanted to illuminate the darkness and make camp life easier. Of course as the centuries have passed our choices in light sources have gotten cooler, as a matter of fact literally cooler with the ARB LED Adventure Light.

      There you are setting up camp when a slight drizzle causes your flashlight to die, or worse you drop it and with a bounce and snap it hits a rock and instantly the dark surrounds you. Or maybe the batteries are dying and you realize that there is only 1battery left of the last 4 pack you bought, and your lamp uses 2 or 3 batteries. This is not the time to start thinking about what makes a good camping light, especially as amputee or wheelchair users who needs to watch the terrain and be careful of hazards after dark.

Getting a puncture in your tire immediately brings to mind using a jack, lug nuts and quite a bit of effort. But what about using a tire repair kit and saving time & effort and saving your spare in case of total tire destruction? We had just such a moment on the Continental Divide Expedition and thus an excellent chance to review an ARB style Tire Repair kit like you can get from our trusted gear guys Sierra Expeditions.

For the price of a couple of lunches a month you can let family know where you are, get help from friends instead of tow charges or call in the helicopters if things really go bad, all with a little orange and black puck called the Spot.
