Mount a 48'' Hi-Lift jack inside a TJ with a soft top.
I'd like to mount my 48'' Hi-Lift inside my TJ but I want to make sure my soft top will still come down without any problems.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks

there are some writeups on here that use muffler clamps around the roll bars and those seem to work well.

So, you used the exhaust clamps to bolt the Hi-lift to your roll bars inside? Looks like a pretty nice fit, I'll have to give that a go! :-)

nope top goes down fine, the rear door opens to reveal full space

two exhaust clamps at autozone ran me like 5 dollars

you have to remember to keep the wrench with you to take it off

but you really only need it when trailing and should have full tools with you anyways

or you can buy wing nuts

I will take some better pics today
