Just got an email from ARB. It's a pretty bad ass jack rated at 4,400lbs.

Thanks for the link - had not seen this one before. It looks nearly identical to the HF Daytona, if you look closely. I bet both come out of the same factory in China, but the Northern Tool / Yellow Jacket version has a few differences. For one, it's 10 lbs heavier, and has a longer warranty... and claims to use urethane Y-rings instead of O-rings for longer service life. It also clarified that the Rapid Pump feature is only without load, while HF is nebulous in their ad copy. Read the "negative" HF reviews on the Daytona for some info as to what goes wrong.
I'd prefer the Yellow Jacket, but at almost $300 delivered it's a fair amount more than the HF. And at that price range, the Made in Denmark AC Hydraulic jacks start looking more tempting:

I am afraid that's going to cost a fortune whenever it is launched in NA. Also, you'd have to get creative to use it with a stock LR4 with no steel bumpers or sliders. Otherwise I'd love to get one for Christmas and throw it in the back whenever I go off-road. It would probably work just fine with my Tactical sliders and nerf bars.

Just curious - what is the price when the Daytona Yellow is on sale? I generally see it at $199 and their coupons don't apply to floor jacks.
I thought it was another $20 off but can check for you

I just purchased this one from Summit Racing for $206.99. Low enough (2 3/4") to get under my Bimmer but enough lift (24") to get my wife's LR4 up in the air easily.

Can anyone tell me where on the lower control arm is the best spot to jack up the tire to take the wheel off from experience? Yes... Jack stand is going to be placed on the frame before doing this.

Sadly, no, I sold my Circuit-1 Racing modified 1997 GXR-R750 many moons ago. Used to race in AFM at Sears Point (aka Infineon / Sonoma) Raceway... back when my bones were more flexible. I had a 2000.5 Mille RSV-R afterwards but eventually sold that as well.
I'm currently bike-less, but the Bimmer S1000RR has been calling my name for a few years. I'd get in sooo much trouble with that thing though; at almost 2.0 lbs per hp there are few adjectives which adequately describe the performance. Zero to 188mph in ~20 seconds boggles the mind. A couple people bracket race older ones at my local dragstrip, running 9's all day long. Fun to watch!

Nice! I only did a few races after finishing Cornerspeed’s race school and mostly went to VIR and few other in SC NC VA area. Mine was a an 05 749r...bought when a raving friend said “you can get into track riding for abut the same as our downhill bikes cost, just get an sv 650” LOL I saw the lovely Ducati & went for the R like a crazy person. No regrets though.
Here’s my 3rd day on a track. It was CMP SC. People cannot imagine how incredible this is without trying it. Blew my mind. Closet thing to dreams of Flying.

I only post that to encourage others if they’ve ever wanted to try. It’s so much fun.
