hi-lift hub adapter?

I've seen photographs of an adapter which fits to the freewheeling hubs comonly found on landcruisers, which allows a highlift jack to attach directly to the hub, allowing you to lift the wheel directly.



but, I cant find a manufacturer or retailer of this device. can anyone help?

Cheers,
Matt

Hi chaps I have made one of those for a mate's patrol he gave me the same pic to copy.

The only thing is you need an axle stand to change the tyre.

this is where he saw the idea:
Jack Adaptor - Wheel Hub Type

Yes you would need an axle stand if you are changing the wheel, but you would be better to use a bottle jack for wheel changing anyway.
This Hi Lift adaptor lets you lift a wheel very easily and quickly if it is stuck, then you can slip a sand ladder or something under the wheel and off you go!
