Cool, thx for the pix...will definately take the guesswork out of it for me.

 

I think I've found a place that might work to mount my highlift jack. Does anyone know of a problem with the mounting location blocking the turn signals a bit? My front side marker lights blink, so I'm not worried people won't see my signals...I'm more worried a cop will tell me it's a problem. Thoughts?

 

Looks good to me.. I wouldn't worry about it.. I bought the Bestop Highlift bumpers.. and can't find a place to put mine yet..

 

Here's a gadget from Hi-Lift to directly lift your wheel.

 

I dunno,

I just finished getting my hardtop hoist/storage mounted on my garage ceiling and during my "breaks" I kept wandering/wondering over to the Jeep to look at possible jack mounts. Don't like the roll bar as I need the inside to carry stuff, don't like the hood as I know I'll drop that sucker, I can't place it vertically on the tailgate because it'll take out the garage door and new bumpers are probably a year down the road.

Right now I'm putting (hiding) most of my cash underneath the Jeep where "She Who Must Be Obeyed" can't see it.

I too had my heart set on using the front bumper to hold the Hi-Lift Jack. The mounts arrived yesterday so as my ADD would kick in, I'd go over and check out the front and rear. After pondering this, I just don't see the front bumper working out. The jack just sits too high and does pretty much block one of the turn signals. I almost started thinking about mounting signal lights on the bumpers, but hey Keep It Simple Stupid. So tomorrow it's going on rear bumper, but I am going to mount it a little more flush by removing the base plate when it travels.

How do you secure it when you top's off?

 

I was thinking the same thing...

I decided to not mount my Jack on the front bumper. I'm looking at options to attach it to my MOPAR trunk.

The trunk seems solid enough, but I'm a little concerned about the trunk staying inplace--for example and accident--because it is held into the back with four nutserts and thumbknobs. I'd rather not kill my wife or daughter a mod gone wrong in the event of an accident. Although I've driven for 23 years now without a collsion.

I have an idea for a bracket to mount behind the rear seat that would clear the trunk/cargo area, but would still keep the jack behind the seat. I have no idea where I could get something like this made w/o it costing a fortune. Maybe I should call that American Inventors show

 

Bet you'd get some interesting answers.

 

The Top doesn't have any thing to do with this mount method,...strickly on Roll Bar and clears the Top by a good bit......it will stay in place no matter what I do.
