Allmakes 4x4 I believe are just a manufacturer of generic parts - most reputable outlets will stock their bits and be pretty competitive on price  :wink:

I have one on the roof rack and that is locked with a long shank padlock (to the fixed roofrack). I see no problem with drilling a hole in the mount itself to put a padlock in though.

Thanks matey gonna order one tommorow

cannot go wrong that money ..

Othet thing is any ideas for securing the Handle that you crank Jack with whilst in transport as i plan to fix on rear quarter of Landy?

Having never used one of these Jacks and had little off roading expeiance were are the safe areas to Jack from on Landy?., I know the rear Crossmember with Adaptors etc but were else on the Landy could you Jack if anywere??

I know these Jacks ar Good from Removing Stumps etc and Tension Wire etc,What eles can you uese them for???

Also when off roading i understand you can use them when stuck in Deep Ruts etc and  a couple of Guys who  took me Laning once for the first time used one to  Jack Landy when they got stuck in a deep Rut they jacked rear quarter and then sort of pushed the Landy sideways i assume to get it out of the Rut as it did  not work?

Sorry about the Green stuff i dont know but as they say ""You Dont Ask Ya Dont Know"".

theres a little rubber gadget that slots over the handle which is available, again i know devon and paddocks (www.paddockspares.com) do them.
 or improvise, get a cork between handle and ladder and pull a velcro strap around tightly, work on ours, but it is inside, not alowed to mount it :(
