Wrangler MT/Rs, picked up this week crazy cheap, and my Hi-Lift finally gets mounted.

Pic from Oak Ridge Estate in Lovingston, VA today.

Just watch your departure angle, you'll tear that jack right off.

Won't the hitch protect it from departure angle mishaps?

Yes, when driving away at a perfect 90 degree angle from a perfectly shaped ledge.

That rarely happens. Bad place to put a jack.

i should note that Oak Ridge is private property, and not open to anyone without extremely special permission.

I wheeled there once with a Jeep club. Isn't there a big old plantation house there or something? It was closed when I was there. But yeah, permission to wheel was like giving up your left nut or something.

My HiLift is mounted there too. I have never hit the jack on any difficult departure angle. Your truck would have to be at a 90 degree angle to scrap the jack!

Looks like the trailer hitch will protect it, unless he hits it at a 90 degree angle or from either side of the hitch. From the looks of the tailpipe, it's not too far out of the realm of possibility.
