Has anyone mounted their Hi-lift to the stock roof rails with crossbars? Of course pictures, parts lists, and detailed descriptions are appreciated. I liked the storage compartment mounting...........but I can't afford to lose anymore interior space; wife and three kids and all!

I've got less than two weeks left until Crozet. Still need to mount the Hi-Lift, extinguisher, install the JKS discos and raise the rear another 1/2".

Just finished putting the All Js SuperSkid II in, so now the armor is complete.

If you remove the stock jack from under the back seat a normal size Hi Lift will slide right in...under the seat...without the base attached of course.
Then just add a couple of bungies so it does not rattle.

I have the 60" Hi lift and I u-bolt it to the Renegade tupperware roof basket. Seems to work pretty good, but causes the plastic to rattle a bit. I am looking for a metal roof basket.

You can't be married then, because that sentence when used to explain all the time you work on your jeep is not humanly possible. :twisted:

A couple of U-Bolts does the trick with the Jeep Cross Rails. If you only have the side rails, I'd say under the back seat is your best bet.

One thing I did do is get rid of that silly cotter pin that holds the foot on, drilled the holes on the foot a little larger, and picked up one of those pins with the integrated loop to keep it on (can't find a pic of it). Makes taking the foot on and off a lot easier.

Is this a High Lift mounted on the spare? Looks convenient if it is.
