Hi-Lift Jack 2" tube mounting system
So I have been trying to find a way to mount my 60" Hi-Jack on my 4runner and while scanning e-bay I found these from Hi-Jack being sold by a company called Rock And Road Jeep Out Fitters for $45.00 shipped to my door
Mounted up on the front 2" tube bumper left side
Right side
How it sits on the front mounted and no the base does not interfere with the headlights pattern at all
So far they are well worth the money I spent on them their are a couple things that they could have done to make them even more usable but they work fine and I can or will find a way to make a couple mods to them.
The first being finding a way to drill through the lock down knob and threaded stud to allow a lock to go into it making it a little less tempting to thieves.
Second I will be finding and using a plastic or similar style sleeve to cover the u bolt so they reduce the chances of paint scraping off the tube bumper.
Third I will also be adding a cable and lock to the jack and bumper also to help curve the thoughts of thieves stealing the jack.
Next will be to find a way to make or buy a cover for the jacking parts of the jack to keep road grim ect. out of it so it works like it should when I need it.
All in All these are a great way to mount your Hi-Jack to your bumper/sliders ect. for a very reasonable price with lots of options if you look at them and try different mounting points.

I use an old ski binding cover on my HiLift:

Inside the truck, it helps to keep gear from rubbing against the dirty jack parts and outside, it keeps the dirt off those same parts.

That's a good idea 4Crawler.
