Just ordered the "first responder" 60" hi-lift jack.
If you haven't seen what it can do, watch this:
(The first :0:40 secs is a history lesson by after that is the jack)

I mean, it's cool and all but how does this jack differ any from a standard $75 jack from Tractor Supply other than the base? I assume the off-road kit just includes a different base?

Not too too much difference from other Hi-Lift 60" jacks. but the little things matter: (plus i wouldn't buy generic jacks, i rather have quality)

A bright yellow color. Reflective trim on working controls. A new base designed to straddle cribbing and secure into chain. A new top clamp designed with several features to allow for pulling, clamping and lifting.

The rated capacity for all functions is 4, 660 pounds although the jack actually has a capacity of 7,000lbs of lift. The internal shear pin gives you a 150% safety rating limit of 4,660 lbs.

Hey, if the color and base are worth the extra cash for ya... good buy.

I can't say I'd pay that extra for a glow in the dark jack with a piece of 2x8 C channel attached to the bottom but at least it looks cool.

I bought my hi lift from tractor supply and its a reese one. Honestly its done it job but its seen so much mud and water its rusted a little but still does the job. But honestly i hate hi lifts so much. Such a PIA. Im just happy i didnt spend more because of how many times ive almost thrown it away just out of annoyance haha

I guess you'd have to be a fire fighter or been one too see it as a difference. When I was a volunteer FF I see where these little things could help.
