I mounted this jack in my TJ 3 years ago the same way - sold the TJ and recycled the brackets, jack, and fire bottle. The roll bar is about 1" wider at the base so I had to make some spacers from some hardwood I had in the garage. Any mild steel or aluminum with a 90 degree bend and sufficient width will work. When I take the top off, I just use a cable lock to make sure the jack doesn't run off. Hopefully the pictures work - first time posting pics here.

 

You make that front bumper? got more pics of the bumper? nice job on the mounts tho, I love the front shovel!

 

I like the rollbar mount...somehow I feel safer with the jack back behind the seat. Did you fab the brackets, or are they old TJ brackets?

 

SIMPLE SOLUTION:

I was planning on fabricating a mount behind the seat this weekend for my hi-lift. I am planning on using locking lug nuts to secure them. That way, it is much harder for someone to steal it.

where are you guys going to left your JK from? If its stock. is there any good lift points?


I used my D-Rings on the front...

 

I use my custom sliders...


lifts the whole side up at once....

 

Great idea. I was going to do this on my TJ until I decided that I was buying a JK. Not sure that I like the look as much on the JK though.

 

The rear receiver hitch or the front tow hooks (with a strap or chain).

Or....there's a company that makes a setup where you wrap a tire with a webbing & this webbing has a loop that goes onto the jacking point.

 

I used the Hi-Lift mounts & mounted it on the stock rear frame under the bumper. I Had to buy longer carriage bolts to keep it out a bit further yet allow me to put padlocks on the bolts as well, but overall it wasn't too tough.
