I just installed one on my Kimberely Karavan. Nice unit. I had to make my own mounting plate. I followed what Dutch did

Would you mind sharing additional information/pictures of the cut swivel plate and your new mounting plate? I am thinking of doing this for my M101A3.

Thanks.

For anyone who is interested, attached is a PDF file of an engineering drawing of the ARK XO Swivel Mounting Plate. Dimensions are in mm.

I installed one on my Kimberley Karavan, and it is far superior to what came from the Kimberley factory. Due to the configuration of the KK draw bar, I had to cut the XO swivel plate and make a custom mounting plate that bolts to the original draw bar jockey wheel mount. The cut XO Swivel Plate is bolted to that custom mounting plate. It works VERY well!

Any update on the XO Coupling for the US?

I am still only seeing it in Australia for 50mm tow balls.

I am still only seeing it in Australia for 50mm tow balls.

Which will easily fit a US 2" tow ball.

I got one of your XO jacks just in time for a 2 week trip into some very rough country. The jack and trailer tongue were drug a few times while climbing over some rocks and entering/exiting deep ditches. Absolutely no damage at all to the jack. I could not be happier with your product! The amount of height adjustment is great. Just what I needed. THANK YOU for making a REAL heavy duty jack and not some P.O.S. that is labeled as a heavy duty jack.

Hello, following this closely, bent my jack handle a few weeks ago on my shellby jack, company out of business and no replacement parts. Although it still works, im thinking is time to replace the ageing unit. As the existing one mounting bracket is welded to the frame and looks great, not sure how happy i am with how the OX unit looks mounted. Wish they make a weld on installation bracket.

any updates on performance or parts?

thanks

Edit - I realized ARK ships to Canada... order placed.

Does any one know if the XO Trailer Jack is available in Canada?

Thanks.

Got mine a couple weeks ago and I can say this thing is pure beef. The mount is way too big but I can cut that down when I weld a mounting plate on.

I made my own version mounting plate on a M101A3 with my own homemade tongue...

 

[MountainD]

I love the aethetics of the tongue gusset you did. Hell of a mounting plate--there is no kill like overkill!

 

[Scrapdaddy]

Thanks, I do tend to overkill build things, that's where the fun is.
