$6.00 Hi-Lift mount.
So rear bumpers are a little out of my price range. So I need a good place to mount my Hi-Lift with out drill any hole in my JK. Heres what I came up with.
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 poping the center cap out of the wheel. Then I cut the flat steel down to 2 pieces 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 flat steel plates. You can sandwich the two plates on hole in the factory spare tire carrier. Tighten down 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.
Took me a total of about a 1/2 hour. Jack it solid and swings with rear door nice and smooth.
Heres a few quick pics of the finished product

So far it has worked great. I have had it on for about 1500 miles now and love it. Just make sure the tire is properly tightened or it will rattle. If its done right no rattle at all.
