Re: Highlift jack
You should mount it inside the jeep. If you mount it on the bumper
and you are knee high in mud it will be fun getting it off. Do not
forget that when you need to use it you will be stuck!
To mount if for $3.00 buy 2 - 2 1/2 muffler clamps and put then on
your rollbar. The high jack plate will fit into the bolts perfectly.
Use butterfly nuts to tighten it. For the otherside and a muffler
bracket - attach it to the clamp and it will exend to wards the top
of the Jack. It has holes in it that match the ones in the high jack.
Use a bolt with a butterfly to fasten it.
There are pictures of this set up on the web.

Re: Highlift jack
Bought one at a yard sale, 48" like new for 20.00 or 25.00, can't remember.
The guy bought it for his truck then sold the truck.
It's been incredibly useful in lifting at the bumper when I changed out my
axle shims (several times). However, used to lift, not support. Lift, add
supports, remove jack, do work, then reverse.
Before I used the jack I had a hell of a time getting the center pins back
in the perches. Using the jack all but eliminated that problem.
