I had some brackets bolted to the frame underneath and also bolted up through the bumper into the bumper frame.

Post of pics of how you have mounted your Hi Lift.
Post up pics and stories of how and where you have used your Hi Lift.

my hi-lift is mounted on my back bumper... so far, it has only been used to get me stuck on a log, yes, i said stuck, not unstuck... its gotten dirty... and i've smashed my fingers while playing with it...

aside from that... its never been used... i would like to see how it does as a come along... the problem i have, is finding a location to jack the vehcile up from... reciver hitch works okay, but is not stable... front bumper is fine, and i dont have sliders yet... so its kinda limited for trailside tire repair and the like.

i used heavy duty drywall toggle bolts on hilift mounts and just mounted to the plastic... lots of rides, no bending, cracking, breaking or the like.

even got hung up on a log and it didnt budge
