get a peice on ready rod and in the center of the spare tire carryer there is a small hole.  Drill that hole out to the size of the readyrod. slid in the readyrod and bolt it into place, then slide the hi lift onto it till it hitts the tire.  Then put a nut on the end and tighten it up till the jack pushes against the tire.  Worked great for me but now i don't have a spare tire so... if you want some pics i can do that   this is for a trackick tho, not a sami ;D

available at Home Depot... it is basically a 2 foot long threaded bolt with no head.  You cut it to the length you want when you use it..... buy some nuts, lock washers and you are good to go.

Just bought a 48" hi-lift today... think I might mount it on a new bumper... right now I am running it right along my E brake... just gotta remember to pull up on the right one when I park...

I hardly ever use my E brake to park ever since I decided to get out of the habbit last winter, didn't want the rear brakes to freeze up and stick... it's a sticky situation from what my friend who did it to his audi said.. I just leave it n first or reverse

invest in the proper jack rack and mount it on the roof bars (or roof if you dont have them ) fore and aft

it seems a lot of extra weigh to me to have on the door, and fitting it to a bumper, when I'm up to them in mud, doesn't help.

I figure that on the roof if you're axel deep in mud it's easier to reach!
