I've had my brother-in-laws Trackhawk up to that (265 km/h which is exactly 164 mph) with my Thule skibox on it. That was in Germany tho...barley over the recommended max speed.

Posting here too.
Was able to install the Teraflex high lift jack mount and Rotopax mount to support a 3 gallon Rotopax. Teraflex states the Rotopax mount is compatible with the JL high lift part number. Not the case directly. I had to find something to make up a gap. I also drilled new holes for the Rotopax base plate to fit the 3 gallon. A 2 gallon fits just fine with the existing holes.
The thing I used to make up the gap was a Ram 1500 rear swaybar relocation bracket. Worked pretty well. Had to enlarge some of the holes…nice.
Edit: Just a note, if you have a high lift jack mounted, the Rotopax plate will mount to the jack with no modification. It will not mount directly to the JL adapter like it would on the JK.

Just thinking what about cutting a section of a high lift to use as a spacer. No offense to those who love their high lift jacks. I’ve had mine since 1982 never needed it. Bottle jack or scissor jackPosting here too.

Recovered a rollover on Holy Cross and my buddy, Nicholas, used the guy’s jack to push up the guy’s roof so he could pull him out.
I’ve never needed one and I never would have thought to use this guy’s jack for that… but Nick works as an estimator at a high-volume body shop. We weren’t with my YouTube friend but the group that showed up (10:33 in video) once we had him flipped over did. The guy told us that this was his 7th rollover!
You’ll see the other guys in the video do the same thing and my jeep is in the background. We bulled him down to the lower section and bailed because we were losing daylight. This was my second rollover recovery, in 2 years, on this trail.

The 2 gallon can be opened fully. I do have Oracle flush taillights.
The 3 gallon would need to be removed to open fully.
There’s some room to adjust depending how much one would want to modify the Teraflex bracket and Teraflex Rotopax mount.

Thanks for the picture . It’s definitely a no go for OEM tail lights

Ok that’s a good use for the high lift Jack

It was definitely useful, but it was also the first time I’ve ever seen anyone use one on the trail. For me, I’ll still stick with my little bottle jack because it takes up less space, which frees up room for more fuel, and has always worked for me

Where are you guys buying your Seasucker mounts at?

Sign up on their website because they run specials throughout the year. If in the Denver area, my doggie PT is a dealer… but he will have to order it for you because he isn’t an overlander. I make these and we use SeaSucker mounts
. Just PM me. 3TV

Thanks. Just ordered a set. Now I'm set for the Dusy Ershim Trail later this summer.

Easy to fill at that location but doesn’t the passenger side can interfere with any thing when tailgate is open ? I do see flush mount tail lights
