Hey Daren, great video. Looking at buying the Ark 740 for my camper. One point though, I noticed you used coarse thread stainless bolts, Technically you should be using High Tensile, Fine thread bolts to avoid shearing under load. Still better than the crap you removed though.
Hey Daren, Great video! Do you think you could always keep the jack vertical and just use the coarse adjustment on the left to pull it up out of the way instead of turning it 90 degrees? I have an AR195 trailer and I would have to move the tongue winch forward to give me enough room to tilt it up.
Btw, cross tighten to aid w even contact over the surface. Avoid hot spots on the contact spots from the bracket to the frame. Crisscross when tightening basically.
Thanks Daren. I agree the stock jack is a piece of junk. Are you able to move your AR 210 easier by hand with this new jack? It was almost impossible for us to move our with the stock jack.
I haven’t personally moved it by hand yet. One time though I forgot to put my wheel chocks on, and it rolled forward in its storage lot about 15ft. 2 guys at my storage facility rolled it back into its spot, and that was on a slight incline. So it will definitely roll yes. Keeping in mind tho that 4500lbs is hard for one guy to push regardless.

Nice job Daren! Your jetboater mate ZGhost 👍

Yes you probably could do that.
What's the towing capacity on your jeep and what's the weight of this AR 210+ trailer?

How you take it off
Crossthreaded to 40ft/lb. On another note you should be able to disassemble your hack and use it on the welded bracket instead of booting on

I drive a 2021 suburban, how high do that jack raises?
You can find specs online but trust me that it will go way higher than you’ll ever need for a Suburban.
Already order it
Will it work in salt water? Galvanized?
It’s not galvanized, but the manufacturers site says it has a “rust resistant finish” that’s “salt spray tested for 600 hours”.
Great video....that's a combination wrench, not a crescent. A crescent wrench is an adjustable wrench.
So question about your jeep. How well does it pull your boat. Is it a V6 or v8. I have a 2020 V6. Looking at the same boat as you or the ar195.
You’ll want to check your towing capacity. I have a V8 which is 6500 lbs and the AR210 is 4500lbs dry.
