Ok everyone, where do you all mount your hi lift jacks?(those that have them, of course). I know I have seen a couple mounted on the front bumper rebar(the steel part under the cover), and I've even seen one mounted across the top of the Targa section of a Tracker. Mine is sitting behind the backseat with the end up on the side, strapped to the seat belt tower, but I would like to do something better with it.

If I cut 6" off of it to make it a 42" jack, it could ride flat behind the back seat on the cargo floor, but I would prefer not to have to do that.

So come on and post pics of your hi lift mounts, I want to try to get some ideas...

kregs idea is kinda cool, mounted on the rear bumper

Here's a pic of mine bolted on the front:

I never liked the idea of having something that big and heavy laying loose inside the cab. In a rollover or accident it could take your head off.

I know what you mean, I don't like it riding inside free either, that's why I strapped it to the seat belt tower, but I would prefer to have it mounted outside, somewhere out of the muck. I can't really mount mine to the front bumper due to the shape of my bumper plus all the stuff in the way, ie: winch, lights, D-rings, etc... I'm in the process of creating my rear bumper, but don't really like the idea of having it mounted across the rear bumper due to the amount of mud it would collect there.

I had it strapped to the spare tire vertically with a couple of mountain bike toe straps, but they didn't hold up to off road abuse. After I get my lift and tires on, as well as the matching-size spare, I was thinking about making a mount on the spare holder somehow...

I thought about the same thing but since I have my cargo rack back there it was out of the question. Post some pics when you get it done.

that from the uk

I was keen to mount mine on a bracket plate onto the spare wheel, which could double up as a base plate in soft ground - lots of such mounts for land rovers - WWW.safarigard.com - but I became concerned about the extra weight and leverage on the door.

I have a roof rack, so I bought the Jack-Rack accessory, and mounted these onto the latteral roof bars with 2 pairs of exhaust U clamps.

It's up out of the way, and instantly accessable, but it's exposed to the weather.

As a base plate I got an offcut of a waffle board - be enterprenurial - buy a pair of boards cheap & cut 'em up and sell to all your mates!

i have a 60in and have the same prob.  i need a 60in because my tracker is fairly tall but i have no place to put it.  i might but end up bolting it to the outside of the truck somewhere if it will fit.

stu

if i get a jack all, im having a bumper made custom and id probly have the guy make it so i can mount it on the back bumper and take it on and off as i go out wheeling.

i just bolted mine to the roof bars on my lwb vitara.
bit of a step up to get it though.

 - not so hard to reach when you're stuck in 2 feet of mud !

And how exactly do you use a hi-lift in 2 feet of mud?

My Hi-lift is mounted on the Calmini Rear bumper with an extrra part they charge extra for but don't advertise.

I've only used it once so far and I used the RockSliders for a lift point to change a guys flat.
The poor guy was trying to used his stock jack on a lifted Tracker by placing the jack on a rock.

use in mud with a base plate and hi-lift mate to lift a wheel to fit a waffle board underneath

Eventually the base stops going down and the truck starts coming up
