I used the same mounts on my rack.. they work well. Initially i used a bungie to the base back to the jack to hold it.. still make a rattle at times so i removed the cotterpin and base. It sits at the bottom of my toolbox in rig when i need it.

 

you might claer your garage with it mounted outside of the rack on the side, i use that option to make room for 2 tires and gas cans, [mine doesn't get great gas mileage ]

 

Instead of using the supplied nuts with the U bolts, go out and buy a few wing nuts.

 

If you have access to a welder, weld longer wings on to a regular nut. Its much easier to turn a 2 or 3 inch homegrown wingnut than a small store bought one of the same thread size. i hope that makes sense?

 

Both are good advise. I usually keep a set of wrenches in my jeep at all times but with the lack of a full door for summer, your guys idea might definatly be in progress this weekend, thanks.

 

^^^ i like that idea! ^^^

 

cheap and easy i would say is about 5 rubber bungee cords like mine is, it also holds my shovel and ax, just did it today after readin this thread so ill let ya kno tomorrow how id does on the road

 

i just got a wheelstud,lugnut and a washer and welded the stud to the trans tunnel under the rear seat and slid the jack over it put the washer and nut on it and its done. out of the weather, no rattles and nobody can carry it off.

 

Sounds cool. Pictures please!

 

sorry man i just now got on here and read this. my grandmother passed friday morning so the computer was my last thought. ill get some pics tomorrow for you.

 

 

Unfortunately since I dont have the luxury of a roof rack without a roof...
I mounted mine to the beast of a front bumper I happen to have...

And since my rig is parked in the garage and is not my DD, I dont need to worry about locking it down any. Future plans involve moving it and a few other tools to the rear in a custom cargo storage after the cage is installed.

but here are some iPhone pix i took just to show my bumper mounted high lift... and no that is not spotted paint, it is smelly river mud that i never cleaned off from a few weeks ago

 

Props for that "Mad Max" front bumper!!!

Are there a lot of large animals on the roads around there?

 

ive got mine on the roof with some u-bolts. I think the warrior products one lifts it up to high..
Never had a problem with it being up there and not locked..

 

I mounted my hi-lift to my surco roof rack by drilling a hole through each of the three flat panels that separate the upper section from the lower section and ran a 1/2 bolt through the holes. I lined up the holes in the jack with the bolts and slid it on. The portion of the jack that supports the Jeep when lifting (can't think of a better word for it now) was resting on the gutter mount to give it some support and I secured it with a wingnut on each bolt and a bike lock around the jack and rack. It never vibrated or caused any problems.
