By meteorological reckoning, the official first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere generally lands in the month of June.

Address: Franklin Street, Bloomington Distance from IMS: 55 miles Ask any off-road enthusiast: when the going gets really tough, sometimes the only alternative is to get out and jack it. And when it comes to jacking it, there is no more versatile a tool than the legendary Hi-Lift jack. Capable of performing jacking, winching, pressing, and numerous other duties, the Hi-Lift so impressed one of the company’s suppliers that it bequeathed the manufacturer with a 20-foot-tall version to celebrate its one-hundredth anniversary. On display in front of the Bloomfield Manufacturing Company, Hi-Lift’s parent company, the maxi-jack is constructed of cast iron and weighs 2980 pounds. Make sure to stop by with 4x4 and snap a pic.
