Pics of hi-lift jack on rollbar

I've heard people on this board mention that they've mounted their hi-lift jacks to their roll bars...anyone got pictures ?

I just bought some U-bolts from Home depot and made my own. It works great and I haven't had eany problems.

Here's how I did mine using 2-1/2" exhaust clamps:





Only thing holding it in is a wingnut - but with that locked in place its VERY secure and has no place to go. If I want to remove it, I remove the wingut, pivot it out of the "pegs" that go in the base, and its out. No wrenching at all.

Here are some links to various write-ups on how to mount a Hi-Lift.

http://www.jeeptech.com/body/him.html

http://www.jonfund.com/technical/hilift.shtml

http://www.4x4now.com/bu98tjc.htm

http://mrpistol.tripod.com/id51.html

This link was for a write-up on how to mount it to your spare tire. It seems like it has been removed from the page, but if you click on "cached" link at the bottom it should come up.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22spare+mounted+hi-lift+jack%22
This link is for a write-up on how to mount it under the hood. I don't think it is reccomended, because after time the added stress can break the welds on the support rods.

Hope that helps!
