At one of the FJ Summit recovery training session Chris Nelson showed us the Jackmate. The Jackmate enhances the capability of the Hi-Lift jack.

The Jack Mate slides over either end of the Hi-Lift Jack bar using quick release pins. When used as the base plate, the Jack mate has “gnarly teeth” which dig into logs and rocks giving greater stability and support. As the top clamp, the Jack Mate adds greater stability and strength to the bar. It also has a slot for a 3/8” chain and a 1” hole for clevis attachments. Using a Hi-Lift Jack, a chain and the Jack Mate, you can have a powerful bender / straightener. Get those bent tie rods closer to straight on the trail. Combine the Jackmate with the Hi-Lift winch kit and you have a powerful off-road recovery tool.
