P1000m5 ADVBUM's Trail Jack - Innovative Design

[ADVBUM]

Proud to show you something I came up with and have been working on. I wanted a jack for my Pioneer. I have looked and searched and did not find what I wanted. I had seen some very nice jacks but they were expensive and did not function, mount or have the lifting range or weight capacity I wanted. I started thinking basic but as I got going I told myself why cant I make something that does everything those others do. This jack does everything the others do and more. It mounts keeping the weight down low. It can access many more mounting spots on the vehicle than the expensive ones can. It is completely adjustable and has a very high lifting range for many different lifting circumstances.

Jack mounted directly into the receiver.

I wanted to keep my recovery shackle so I made a double mounting receiver.

I have it so you can use a drill to operate or hand crank if no power.

I have reached out to a couple companies to see if they would be interested partnering and putting this into their product line.

That looks awesome! Essentially started as a trailer jack then correct?

Yes. You have to start somewhere!

Looks sweet. Good work.

Might get frozen up in colder areas? We see lots of mud and water in my area as well in the warmer months. Love the idea, might make something similar and just mount it inside somewhere. Usually have a chainsaw in the back on one side, I could figure out a spot on the other for something like this. Great design.

Nice part about keeping the shackle and having the double mount is it rides higher. I have neoprene sleeves on it to help keep mud, dirt and sand from getting into the jack. It would be easy to make a whole cover.

Once again really like the idea. I'm getting ready to put some tracks on my utv and wanted something that was stable and locked in more than a handy man jack. I had the same idea with an adjustable mount but never thought about putting it in the receiver and a great way to store it. Do you have a mount in the front?

No mount in the front. It fits nicely in the wheel well to lift from where the A arm mounts to the frame.

ADVBUM, Thank you for the idea and photos. I'm calling my buddy, a patent lawyer, to split the revenues with him on this.

Just kidding.

When my father thought up New solutions to unsolved problems...

My mother would say
"Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.”

I do believe you're onto something.. Good luck on your advancement with this.

Thank you. There is a whole process to the patent process. Going public to show your product and that it functions is the first step. Not something I was planning.

Not entirely accurate. You can take out a Provisional Patent with the idea and what it will comprise of. Gives you a year to produce and possibly market your product. Costs about $100. A full on patent costs about $10k and is essentially worthless but that's a whole different conversation. Nice job btw.

Thank you. At least I know I can count on my offroad friends not to support some POS that would try to rip me off.

That's cool, curious to see how/where it lifts up front? sides?

Nice thing is that it is completely adjustable. Where ever you have a good lifting point it can be used. I tried a soft shackle to lift from when there was not a flat surface, but a nice place to attach to such as there is on the a-arm.

 

[Scoop]

Very cool!

 

[Bighat]

Good idea. If your in a wooded area you could also use logs to drive up on and get your wheel off the ground enough to let you change it. Always carry a chainsaw.

 

[Scoop]

Always carry a chainsaw.

The wife just got me one of these for Christmas, specifically for the SXSs:


Yes, @Robobrainiac, I will remember batteries.

More pictures? I like it even more now haha.

I have a M18 battery saw, mounted in a Kolpin Sawpress, Works great. Best part about the battery saw I find, is they work great for guys who only use saws intermittently. It can sit there in the back for months and as soon as I hit the trigger it is ready. No gas to foul up carbs, or finicky mixing of fuel. Big fan.

I used a 48" high lift jack for my rear bumper. This, I think, has an advantage as it has the capability to lift from front, rear and either side of the vehicle and can raise it much higher than a trailer tongue jack. I used brackets that are listed on Amazon, and made reinforcements cut from a short length of steel tubing, so the bracket clamps can be torqued down hard and not dent the thin wall roll bar tubing. I was going to mount the jack "inside" to the upper roll bar, but this old man would have struggled to get it out and put it away again. This location works well and surprisingly detracts near nothing from departure angle.
