My high lift mount...

'Tank,

...got mine up on my ConFer WITH a lock...so far so good....
What ya use for the textured stuff around your wheel wells? I think your rig looks sharp.... don't worry about the "..... mine doesn't have a undented blah blah blah..." crowd; isn't the XJ's strength the ability to look good AND wheel hard??? I.E. hit the trail on sat. day, wash it down if that's your thing; U and the missus go out on the town sat night... or maybe I've missed the mark....

It won't be that hard. Just use a punch and a drill press.

Ya... I dont have a drill press so I'd be drilling by hand... thus the PITA

I washed it cause I had a date friday night... didnt wanna have nasty vehicle ya know? Thats actually Line-X on the bottom of it. got it done for free essentually.... had some $ left over after some fool backed into my jeep and squished a fender and part of the door. I pounded the door dents out a little bit and had them coevered in Line-X... cant even tell there was a dent.

Ahh i c.. rust proofing the bottom of mine little bit by bit ie as i yank tranny, x-case etc to get to the space ... thats a good alternative to 'whackers, TJ flairs, etc. as far as protection from kicked up crap goes. nice work.

Interesting mount idea; I thought about doing something similar a couple of months back, but ended up taking a somewhat different route (click photo for full details):



Nifty to see how it would've worked, though. Nice job!

BTW, here's a clue for the 'shiny=mallcrawler' crowd: easiest way to tell if it's a mallcrawler or not is to look *UNDERNEATH* the rig. No underbody dings, scrapes, scratches, etc. and it's a pavement princess. All a straight body says is that the driver does his best to *avoid* hitting things in the first place, not whether or not he actually wheels.

just go buy a cable bike lock. loop it through the jack and around a cross bar. done. if its too long, then run it through a hole further from the bar its looped around. but by having your jack in 3 places and having to lock it outside on the roof and all this is going to make using your jack a very frustrating event for the jeeps stuck behind you on a trail. i know id be pissed to be behind somebody who had to do all that BS just to pick their rig up off a rock and get out of my way...

Just because it shines don't make it a mall crawler. My website shows mine sparkling in about 50% of the photo's , but the other half and the videos show her in all her glory. Ain't a damn thing wrong with washing it. Hell I keep a nice shining coat of black paint on my suspension at all times. Looks sweet if you ask me. " Bling don't hurt a thing "

Ryan, I did the same thing for mounting my Hi-Lift. What I did for a lock was took on of the bolts and took an angle grinder to it and gave it two flat sides to drill. then just used a small master lock. Worked out pretty good, will try to take pics, when I can.

Good idea!

but by the looks of your rig its a mall crawler.

Sounds to me like jealousy. Isn't that the way it usually goes? Those that don't have always comment about those that do have. :kissyou: No offense intended.

I've been trying to find some of those barbed plastic plugs to replace them with but no luck. probably have to order them

They're in the "HELP tree" sometimes. I know Advance and AutoZone carries them cause I've bought them there.

I'll check it out this afternoon. Be nice to have my jeep be all black once again

Czech your local Tru-Value/Ace hardware store? They're in the aisle woth all the nuts in bolts in the plastic yellow trays.

 

[Drunk tank]

thats where i got the stainless bolts... I know all about those bins. they didnt have any with holes drilled in them

 

[small pederson]

i had my jack stolen from my roof rack last year. id drill a hole through one of the bolts and put a lock on it. or put a bike lock through it and around one of the rails on the rack. seems like a PITA if you wheel very much. but by the looks of your rig its a mall crawler.

holy hell that shits funnay!
