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

I just slide my hilift under the rear seat of my JKUR, along with a shovel and lots of other recovery gear. This uses space that otherwise is wasted, keeps the weight low to the ground, and protects the jack from the elements. I also carry a couple of trash bags to contain all this if it gets muddy.
