Never once had a problem with mine. I mounted it with the 4xrac.

Its an old pic from over a year ago, but its still there.

ok cool, what do u think is better hood mounted or some were by the spare tire? I like the hood set up my self

As long as it is not obstructing your view, or hanging over the edge of the hood, I don't see it violating any laws.

I know alot of YJ guys mount it behind the rear jump seat.

[Bill]

Before Steve built me this latest rear bumper I was mounting the Hi-Lift on the rear roll bar behind the rear seat. It is easy enough to do. You can get the hardware needed to do it for under $10 at any Home Depot or Lowes.

roll bar .. i like that keep it out of the weather and from being stolen, on the rollbar were tho?

I was on the back bumper, then the hood. I welded two bolts to the hinge then stuck some square tube to space it up.. easy as cake. I like it on the outside because it is less mess inside.

[92YJCBG]

agreed. i go no space really inside

Hey
92YJCBG, in what whereabouts of cannonsburg do you live? And what do you drive? I live in washington. do you koup (aka stinky) and mark?

[92YJCBG]

i live by kings by glen cannon, mark works at napa never really talked to him, but im at nape all the time so i should .he graduated a year before me, stinky ..i assume is stinkbomb i tryed talked to him at sheetz about his SOA set up and he blew me off sorta. Prob because right now my jeep in my eyes is poser off road but its my DD.

I have mine mounted behind the rear seat on L brackets that are bolted through the wheel wells. It keeps it safe and sec. it is out of the way and doesnt rattle. I also used a old shackle bushing to cushin the flat plate. so that didnt rattle.

[92YJCBG]

spyder you got a pic of your set up? thanks

[spyder873]
