Anyone got any pics or ideas on where to mount the hi-lift without drilling holes or are you just using the Bumper Mount 4xRac?

-Here's my setup, I spent 6 dollars on parts for an easy to make Hi-Lift Jack Mount, very cheap and works wonderfully, and even holds a small shovel too. Thanks goes to COUnlimited who came up with the idea, I just also did it.


Supplies needed:
12" of 2"x 1/4" flat steel stock
12" of 1/2" all thread.
3 1/2" nuts
1 1/2 wingnut
Sawzall
Drill with 1/2" bit
Vice

First I started out by removing my spare tire and popping the center cap out of the wheel. Then I cut the flat steel down to 2 pieces of 5 1/2" each. Drill a 1/2" hole dead center of both pieces.

Place a 1/2" nut on the end of the all thread, followed by 1 of the flat steel plates. You can sandwich the two plates on the hole in the factory spare tire carrier. Tighten down on the second nut to secure the two plates.

Remount the spare tire and tighten it to the carrier. Add the third 1/2" nut to support the back of the High lift and secure with the wing nut. When you tighten down with the wingnut, you'll press the jack against the tire a bit and that will hold it in place, but the weight of the Jack is actually supported by the 1/2" all thread.

Took me a total of about a 1/2 hour. It swings with rear door nice and smooth.

Again, credit goes to COUnlimited for this setup!!!




Any other questions?

River Raider Off-Road, riverraider.com makes a mount that uses the backside of the factory rollcage seatbelt mount for a 48-inch High Lift Jack. The kit does not impede the removal of a hard top or the lowering/raising of your soft top.
