Re: Hi-Lift mounting
I just put a bikini, windjammer and toneau cover on the Jeep and used bungie

pods...fits perfectly and looks great...

I use mine alot. Never for service work, only for recovery. It's hard to
stack rocks under the tires when the tires are resting on the rocks.

Re: Hi-Lift mounting
