Dont need to buy a kit. A piece of angle iron, 2 4" pcs of 1/2" allthread, & 4 1/2 nuts are all you need to mount across the roll bar. Tap the 2 holes in the roll cage and mount it up high. The tension of the jack keeps it from moving. Its high enough to be out of the way, but you can reach easily. This is probably my cheapest & easiest mod.

Also, i've got this same dilemma for my 2011 2door. It is currently on the hood but it blocks the sprayers and is in the way of fog-lights. Rear bumper not an option with my Smittybilt setup. Can you mount it atop the rear roll bar in a 2 door like a 4 door? I know the rear is shaped differently...

I actually thought about somehow mounting my jack under the rear seat of my JKU. I know I have a support brace under there. I hate the mounting points available. I don't want my jack available to be stolen and I'd like it out of the way for my gear and passengers. Has anyone thought up a well hidden spot to mount their high lift? Any input would be awesome! If you have pics that would help too.
Thank you in advance.
