ltsnotme Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Where did you get the mount and what size is your jack Made it from scrap metal. Jack is 48". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 TheExBrit, I'm just noticing now, did your hi-lift get egged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroeser01 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Mine fits under the rear seats perfectly where the factory bottle jack was I believe mines a 42 inch jack I only keep it under the rear seats in the winter and rainy months. I googled home made high lift mounts and found a jeep guy and copied his roof rack mount Edited November 7, 2013 by sroeser01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick13 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I used 2 "quick fists" to attach it to my Yakima rack. IIRC they are intended for mounting fire extinguishers (and the like) but I liked the price difference compared to the Yakima rack attachment: I like that hitch mount...I may have to make me one.

stioc Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I didn't like having it on the roof rack, I couldn't quite fit it under the rear seat without getting rid of the factory jack. I was left mounting it on the back or the front bumper, I chose the front because I (and more importantly the family) access the back hatch area almost constantly throughout our trips and didn't want anyone injuring themselves. Then I tested it on my recent trip to Moab and back, worked fantastic! Edited November 7, 2013 by stioc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I've thought about putting one on the front bumper. How do y'all keep it secured from theft? My truck is parked in the condo's lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPath Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Mine has a Steel Cable threaded through the jack eyes and around my grill guard. In the end it only keeps honest people honest though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
