Just picked up a 48" hi-lift. Wondering where to mount it. I dont really want to put it up on the rack as that's just adding weight up high where I dont want it. What have other's done?

Ide say on the roof (Its only like 40lbs not anything I would be concerend about up high)
Bumper mount maybe?

Ide say go back and get the 60" too!

Well if you have the swing out tire rack on back you can make a mounting system for it and mount it there or if you have the 1st gen roll bar in side you can mount it off there those are the two ideas I am going to be trying for mounting mine.

I strap mine down in the back when i go out wheeling, when im not using it, it stays at home!

I put mine up against the body under the top of the rear seats when they are folded down. Until I bolt my lock in, I have been using the center rear seat belt to secure it.

Most people arent as special as you to have a first gen roll bar in there second gen...lol
Why not just fab something in the cargo area, like to a side pannel, if you dont think thatll hold the weight, i would try right on top of the wheel well back there

Along the front of the rear seat. Looks like it's in the way, but never had a passenger mention anything.

your could keep it in a bag and strap it to something in the back, thats what i plan to do when i get one

With the 48", I'd build a standoff that would hold it along the rear of the roof, parallel to the gate, in front of the wiper motor cover. It's inside (protected), out of the way, and the weight is negligible. 2'nd option would be to build a rack over one of the rear tire wells and mount it to the wall.
