Build your own. I bought all the parts for mine at home depot for 12 bucks.

ooo o really whose emily.

she is my fiance and she just fixed the computer.

Correct English would be "who is Emily"?

Since when did that happen, where have I been? Well congrats. Why are we correcting grammar all of a sudden? Tico got away with it for years

And it would be, "Who is Emily ?"

They get in the way on the bumper, but if you want to learn that first hand feel welcome.

I'm still running the stock tire carrier on my tail gate. I wouldn't recommend it but you can do what I have done.

If you keep it outside, keep it lubed or it will be useless when you need it. I wouldn't recomend leaving it outside though. If you keep it inside, keep it lubed or it will be useless when you need it.

oh yeah keep it lubed. When using keep a firm grip on the hadle, keep face away from handle and have a hammer or heavy object handy to beat the piss out of it when it won't let your jeep down

Carry mine there too... but wasn't bolted... tighly bungeed down to the rungs on the floor...

Carry etc handle bolts/nuts too... mine have a habit of spinning themselves off or stolen by the gremlins living under the hood (or maybe the trolls in the transmission tunnel.... hmmm )

I keep mine on the rear bumper. Of course, I had the bumper made that way. And, YES, I keep it lubed...



... I'm talking about the jack, geesh!

I just used a couple of bolts, washers, nuts and wing nuts from home depot to bolt it to the luggage rack which is mounted to the upper roll bars with U-bolts. I only carry the Hi-lift on wheeling trips. Its too heavy and it rattles too much to carry around every day - not to mention the rust when it sits out. I keep a bottle jack for changing tires etc in the trunk.



For a while I mounted the jack on a tab on the bumper with a small bolt and a ratchet strap up top to keep it snug.
