What I 'did' was get a hi-lift. I haven't had any reason to think that was a bad choice either. Like you said, it's versatile. I don't have ALL the options for the hi-lift, but I'm getting there. I need one of the slider adapters from cowboy4x4, and the wheel lift adapter.
HiLift or XJack?

Don't fret, the Hi-Lift has been a standard all-around tool to have for over a hundred years...the X-Jack will be a welcome addition to anyone's compliment of recovery gear, but the Hi-Lift jack has versatility the X-Jack cannot provide - as a come-a-long / hand winch, log splitter, compression / expansion tool (sort of a manual jaws of life), etc...The X-jack is fantastic for soft terrain lifting, with a large, stable base, and much safer as a jack, in general. But try winching with oneFJVP said:
Thanks guys, picked it up the stuff today... Craigslist was the great call... he had only used the jack to try it out and play with, a few scrapes and some surface rust from being banged around in the garage. He sold his jeep due to a growing family and the new "van" now need to get some of those Cowboy 4x4 slider adaptors at a good price!
