Anyone know where I can get a mount to mount a HiLift to my spare? Also will the rear stock tire carrier support this?

 

Try this. It's made by Rampage (I think)...

Ive seen that one, but I am wondering how to mount it to the spare itself, as seen in the picture.

 

Maybe remove the spare carrier and drill a couple of holes out in the center, run some bolts through the holes so they come out the center of the tire. Then bolt on your jack. That is the only thing I can think of to be secure. But yes, the carrier should be able to hold the weight. I have seen people run bikes off their spare before with no problems.

-Here's my setup, I spent 6 dollars on parts for an easy to make Hi-Lift Jack Mount, very cheap and works wonderfully, and even holds a small shovel too. Thanks goes to COUnlimited who came up with the idea, I just also did it.


Supplies needed:
12" of 2"x 1/4" flat steel stock
12" of 1/2" all thread.
3 1/2" nuts
1 1/2 wingnut
Sawzall
Drill with 1/2" bit
Vice

First I started out by removing my spare tire and popping the center cap out of the wheel. Then I cut the flat steel down to 2 pieces of 5 1/2" each. Drill a 1/2" hole dead center of both pieces.

Place a 1/2" nut on the end of the all thread, followed by 1 of the flat steel plates. You can sandwich the two plates on the hole in the factory spare tire carrier. Tighten down on the second nut to secure the two plates.

Remount the spare tire and tighten it to the carrier. Add the third 1/2" nut to support the back of the High lift and secure with the wing nut. When you tighten down with the wingnut, you'll press the jack against the tire a bit and that will hold it in place, but the weight of the Jack is actually supported by the 1/2" all thread.

Took me a total of about a 1/2 hour. It swings with rear door nice and smooth. Oh and use a "muffler clamp" for the shovel. And to keep honest people honest, I used a bike lock wrapped around my tire which has a locking lugnut on it, to lock the jack.


Again, credit goes to COUnlimited for this setup!!!
