Mounting Hilift Jack

[taslucas]

Had mine mounted mine under the bonnet against the firewall across the engine with a few brackets. Always clean, safe and out of the way. Only problem was that on a hot day you needed gloves to remove it. Will see if I can find any pics if anybody interested.

Yeah pics would be good I'd like to see how you made it fit. I've got a heap of stuff in the way there

On my current GQ with EFI and LPG there is just not enough space, to much crap stuck on the firewall and everywhere else for that matter. Will try and find a picture on my PC at home tonight.

Like the barrier mount!

[Johan Safari]

Sorry I don't have close up or higher res pictures. They where taken a loooong time ago!

[taslucas]

Thats a good idea. But, yeah as you said, not much room in a GQ

The fella that Mtd it to cargo barrier did a very nice job and it looks tops.
Only problem is, it has to be on front of cargo barrier as he put it.
If ya Mt on other side and go away on a trip it will probably be buried by all the gear.
Not a very convenient place that's why most people Mt them in a easy to reach position.
You don't want to be removing your gear in a inconvenient place either.

I integrated support mounts for the hi lift into my roof rack when I built it.

I like to see roof rack mounted stuff very firmly attached in case the vehicle comes to a sudden stop, and the jack or other roof load continues on.

An extra 14kg on the spare will take it's toll on the Barn door, a 33 weighs 35kgs.'
If you do buy a bracket for the spare, stay away from the alloy ones on fleebay (crap)
Stick it on the roof rack or bull bar or somewhere else.
Cheers, the ferret.

I dont have a roofrack atm so just thinking about other places. I might be getting a mate to make a custom bullbar so im thinking i might be able to intergrate into that. hmmm...
