Thread: Hi lift jack mounts

Mine lives under the back seat, wedged in place. There is only the one impression in the carpet from it being there over the last year and a half, so it mustn't move around despite the precarious angles, bounces and sudden lurching my driving puts it through.

This is how I mounted mine on my RRC. Click on pics for larger image.

Mate I like that approach , not being cynical , but is that legal protruding past the line of the bull bar ?

I have a Stinger aerial set up on the bull bar so setting it up on top is eh not too good

Probably not these days but it was at the time. I only bolted it on for trips.

Q. What vehicle?

On the 110 I use the Kaymar bracket but have it lying flat on the rack, rather than side ways. I think this better distributes the weight, but it does eat in slightly on the rack space.

My preference would have been on the rear wheel carrier, but
(1) Kaymar didn't make one to suit the Defender
(2) I already had the rack brackets as they came with the car.
(3) I made a shovel, axe, mattock bracket for the wheel carrier for arduous trips and have a dirty gear bag there for long road trips.

I can't mount it across the rear cross member due to the Kaymar wheel carrier.

I think that if we assess our situations, we'd probably all have to confess that we hardly use the hi-lift, and can probably get more use from 2 bottle jacks under the drivers seat.

Mine is a 110 wagon , I actually have used mine for a hand winch , for helping to get mates out of front end bogs I have a bbq grill that fits over the rear wheel so the mount is not really going to fit .
I am trying to rid all excess weight and the stretching / lifting ect . , wanting to really renegotiate weight distribution

I've seen them mounted across the back cross member, below the rear door but don't know if that works if you've got a rear step. We are also doing a re think on weight and placement since the trip north.
