I am the same, i have been told that a good place is in a hayman reece tow bar receiver. I could use the bullbar as it is a winch bar so it should hold the weight, still doenst help me when working out where to stach itr in the car. Matt

was just chatting with a mate of mine who has one, and he uses it all the time... his is attached to the rear wheel carrier

How has he done that, is it an aftermarket wheel carrier, or is it factory? Did he have to make a bracket or buy one? Matt

The tow bar receive is not all that stable as you will be jacking both rear wheels :? From memory the 130 HCPU tub has too great an overhang to enable the jack tongue to fit?

This method was suggested in the recovery hand book printed by 4wd Monthly. Matt

I read a little story about a guy with a nissan who had his mounted that way. He dropped off a 4ft shelf, landed on the base of the jack and the leverage sent the top of the jack and wheel in through his back screen.

Personally, I will get one. I've had occasion where it would have been invaluable to me. Not having one I had to do things the hard way, turning a 15 minute recovery into an hour or so. :roll:

I will get one eventually, just to many things in front of it on the shopping list at the moment. Matt

I have one - but I have no where to jack from on my disco anyhow [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] .

Me and the old man made a bracket for it that goes on the spare wheel carrier, using the exising bolts with the wheel over the top of it. The jack is held on by two pieces of all thread, I can take a pic if you like
