New High Lift-mounted on tailgate
I just bought a 60" high lift jack yesterday and with it I bought the 4xrac and the jack handle isolater. Installation was easy just measured where the holes went took off the panel on the inside of the tailgate and bolted the mounts on. I greased the tail gate latch system while I was in there too. The tailgate is alot heavier to open and close now but it is plenty strong enough to support the weight of the jack. I finished it off with two locks so no one can steal it easily. Anyways on to the pics...

Nice, Is that a CanBack or Bestop?
|
I'd like to do something like that with my Hi-Lift. unfortunately theres no room because of my swing away spare tire.
|
Its a Besttop Supertop...waaaaay cheaper than a Canback you just can't put a rack on top but I like it a lot, great for camping! It was only $550 offline.

First time the end of that Hi-Lift catches something you are going to wish you had not mounted it to sheet metal on your tailgate. My opinion only.
:guitar: |
nice i like it. good idea
|
i agree with wabbit sheetmetal=bad
|
ya it looks like it kinda hangs out there! i was gonna mount mine on the inside of the side of the bed "passenger side"! seems like a good spot.
|
i mounted mine to my roll bar, and i had it on the side of the bed on the inside to. just a thought not trying to rag on u to bad :bigok:

And as for hitting something and it ripping off it only sticks out on the left side and I can fix that by flipping the winching thing (Idk what its really called) into the clamping position so it won't stick out at all on either side. And I was gunna mount it on the inside on the bed rail but its easier to access on the outside of the camper shell and if you think about it it would be easier for someone to steal if it was on the inside because no one could see them trying to break it on the inside of the shell...but then again it is more obvious on the outside...but oh well I like it on the tailgate :rockin: |
How are you supporting the mounts on the inside of your tailgate?

OH one thing I wasn't happy with was the 4xrac came with the bolts and nuts but no washers at all??? So I just went to ace and got some but you would think that it should come with the kit?

Here's some shots from the side just to show how little it sticks out, or not at all...
left side only .5-1" http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/9...ghlift4ql2.jpg right side none http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2...ghlift3iu5.jpg |
