Hey guys, I just got a 48'' Hi-Lift, 2 shackles, and a tow strap for my birthday yesterday. My question is where is everyone mounting their Hi-Lift at? I have a 88 std cab pickup and want to mount it out of the way but still easy to get to. I still use my bed so I don't want to mount it on the bed floor or anything, I was thinking maybe on the side of the bed on the wheel well or something. Let me get your ideas and pics.

 

I made some brackets out of sheet metal and welded them to the fender int he bed. I also keep an old tent bag over the jack part to keep the weather out.

Here check this thready out.

Thanks RE-RE, I like the look of the bed bar on the tacoma. Anyone else got any pics or ideas?

 

My 60" hilift fits in my in bed toolbox.

Could bolt yours to your tailgate.. or the bedrails are a popular place.

 

I mounted mine a bit different then most but it is pretty handy and the mounts I used you can buy from Hi Lift For like $21 bucks

 

where did you find them that cheap? cheapest I have found is about $45+ shipping

 

wouldnt that get ripped off and smashed if you hit a rock?

 

E-BAY Wish I could remember the dealer so I could give ya his name but I forgot it but all I did to find them was to put "hi lift mounts"

Well you know any thing is possible , that said it is about 3 ft. up so it has to be a mighty big rock not that they don't exist and I have not run in to them but I have not had any issues so far knock on wood

 

 

heres mine got these mounts from a pawn shop like new for 12 bucks mounted to stock bumper rests perfectly on the fairlead, no rattle or anything

 

they are drilled to accomidate a lock in each mount too. maybe look into to a set you can mount them anywhere. each mount uses four bolt holes.

 

anybody got a link for a rebuild kit for this Hi-lift i found cleanin out a garage!??

 

Found it? Sweet deal.

So I temporarily mounted the jack up against the cab on the bed, just until I get around to building something to hold it.

Are those things just used to jack up the vehicle if something guess messed up or what?

pretty much every serious off road enthusiast has one or needs one.

 

you should check out wheelers off-road in grants pass Oregon. they have bumper mounts for hi-lifts and just about everything else you would need.

 

Thanks, I checked out the website and couldn't find anything and its like a 6 hour drive from me. Do you got a link to the mounts?
