Have yall felt how strong that lower windshield corner is? Also he says he has it supported at the bottom, too. It's probably pretty stout is my guess. I mean I said I was slap speechless because I wouldn't bolt anything right over a painted surface like that. BUT, that just means I wouldn't do it that way. That doesn't mean it's stupid and it doesn't mean it won't work. I think he deserves some credit for creativity. There seems to be a shortage of how to mount these jacks on the JK, and he's given us another choice. Bottom line is, if he wants to pour gas on his Jeep and strike a match to it, it's his to do so.
The work's not stupid, it looks pretty good. But cheering someone on for putting what is essentially a handle on the side of their jeep doesn't do him any favors. If he trails that, he WILL hook it, and the ensuing damages will be in an area very difficult to repair.
I'll be the first to admit I'm an opinionated jackass, but I'm an honest one. And that mount is just stupid. He should get rid of it.

Default Hi Lift

Cool if it works for you. I will find a better way. Looks too close to serious damage on the trail to me. Horizontal on the bumper...??

I do. Just make sure it's tied down well, or it can kill you during a roll...
