Best place to mount a hi-lift?

[T- Bone]

I couldn't find that hard case. It would be ideal to mount in the basket and free up some interior space.

I keep mine in the back cargo area between my two big junk boxes, along with a 3' prybar and a couple of spare shafts...I don't have a back seat in the way though.
Of course there is always the roofrack (if ya have one) and Hi Lift makes a spiffy lockable plastic case for them... I forget who had one of these I've seen...A Mechanic? Motorman? 2Offroad???

As someone already mentioned, just inside the rear hatch it will fit crossways if using a 48" unit. I built a wooden storage box for my '84 a long time ago that is something like 6" tall and just slips between the fender wells as well as butts against the rear seat back. I installed two 3/8" bolts through the back of the box to which the jack mounts with wing nuts. That way the jack is inside, but I can still get to it with the back full of cargo and it is held securely. I transfered this box from my '84 to my '92 to my '98 and it still works well. Jeff

When wheeling, mine is on the factory roof rack held in place by two pieces of 1/2 inch threaded rod sandwiched on the roof rack crossbar by 2 big nuts with nylon locking inserts. The jack is held in place with some big wingnuts and on one end a clip, the other end a small padlock.

Normal commuting has the jack resting from rear door to door up against the sheetmetal below the rear seat. It doesn't bother the occasional passenger and it's dry, quiet and virtually out of sight. I ran several eyebolts through the sheet metal there, one on each end and also on each side of the driveline hump. It works well with some simple bungee cords. Be careful when drilling the holes, there is some wiring under the carpet on the drivers side, especially on early ABS models.

I used to have it in the back from wheelwell to wheelwell, but the larger spare tire doesn't fit when it's in that position.

then search for jackguard.
i like mine the jack doesn't move around in the case and is protected from water.

Allows the seat to be put in upright position and for a tire as tall as 11.50 to go under it

My mount > *.* It's free. It's inside (no rust/mud). Out of the way (with or without rear seat passengers).

Of course I stole the idea from someone else....
