anyone know where i can get one of those spify tools (the highlift jack, shovel and ax) sets that mount on my hood? and can they be mounted on my disco II w/o screwing up my vision? how do they mount to the hood anyways?

and a tip from my friends that drive import rice-burner cars = stickers make your car faster. on that note i want a camel trophy sticker for my rover because it just HAS to make it better off-road right? so where to i get one at? (i want the BIG one that goes on the door not some skimpy little 4" thingy)

thanks again

The Hi-Lift can be mounted to most off road bumpers with brackets. There's not much room for other things like shovels or axes and they usually are mounted on the roof rack. Keeping the Hi-Lift exposed to the elements means you need to really look after it so it doesn't seize from non-use. Here are a couple videos I took in a D2 with a Hi-Lift mounted on an RTE bumper.

not bumper. HOOD mount! i dont mind that i will hafta take it off and grease it on occasion.
btw what is the reason behind the black painted hoods on the camel trophy LRs?
i will try to post a pic of what i want.
ok, so i got out-smarted by the 'load picture' feature but that isnt surprising - i can barely find **** online. sad i know.

It stops the reflection of the Sun in "bright" sunlight, and it stops the roof lights reflecting of the bonnet and blinding the driver

 

MAN, I LOVE the sound of a V8... so reassuring.

Thank God for Discos.

 

A high-lift jack is heavy. VERY heavy. So heavy, that mounting it on an aluminium hood is probably a bad idea.

If you don't have steel bumpers you'll need the lift mate:

I don't have a winch, so to use it as one, I have the Off Road kit:

You'll also need 20 feet of 3/8" chain.


If you are looking for utility, you can get the handle all kit:

It comes in a bag though, so it would look kinda funny mounted on your truck. HEH.

 

To be honest, if the High lift is not on a roof rack or inside the car, there really is only one other place imo. Mounting on the hood is a pretty naff idea.........no offence met

To usea hi-lift on a discovery, you would need some offroad bumpers and rock sliders to jack under. The stock plastic won't hold the weight. I have a army surplus folding shovel in my storage compartment. Get a nylon ****** strap. I bought a 60 foot military tow strap that I keep with me. Nice for recovering Jeeps out of mud holes.
