I mounted mine under the back seat, and just zip tied it to the seat mounts. It's out of the way, easy to get to, and does not rattle.

Mounted mine inside to the rear roll bar
Parts from home depot...cost a grand total of $6 and took me about 45min

I drilled two 1/2 holes through the roll bar, installed 5" bolts through the roll bar then bolted it down tight, cut two small holes in the roll bar cover, then mounted the jack. This is a sweet and very sturdy mount, doesn't rattle or come loose, plus it's high enough it's out of the way and easy to remove or replace when you need it

Yikes. The "rollbar" on these rigs are weak enough. Now it has 1" of material missing out of 3" on each side.
