Default Hi lift Mount Comparison

I've searched for the variuos differrent ways to mount up the Hi-Lift. I like the River Raider Hood Mounts, however, I also like the Rugged Ridge & Rampage Rear Hinge mounting system. Any thoughts or coments on either would be appreciated. Show 'em if you got 'em...

Is that the Rugged Ridge or Rampage Mount? Is it made of durable/quality materials, and is there any rattling or any of the like?

Some of the rear mounts leave the top of the Hi-Lift exposed to getting hung up in low hanging branches (and some folks live in areas without low hanging branches--LOL). I had mine on a ToughStuff on the front and really liked the look, but it is a two person job to safely remove and install the jack ...



The ToughStuff mount is expensive. Right now Quadratec lists it for $150. I bought mine right after it came out. Supplee 4X4, which is only a couple miles from my home, sold it to me for $115. I don't know what he's charging now. But, once I got a proper rear bumper mount for my Hi-Lift, I was able to convert the Tough Stuff hood mount to other uses with parts provided in the original kit ...

Was considering this one or maybe making my own. Does the Hi-Lift block the windshield wash fluid at all?

Woods, gets it up and out of the way until you need it, and as for taking the soft top up or down it only takes an extra minute at the very least.

What mount is that? I have one that is similar but no where near as stout.
