mounting hilift to tray
MrsForby wrote: Oh I desperately truly love the taco.
On my old cruiser I welded a plate to the side rail, in between the cabin and the front of the tray. This plate had a bolt welded to that sticking up so that the foot of the high-lift would sit over this, and attach with a nut. I also had another bolt sticking through the front of the tray which went through one of the holes in the body of the jack.
It worked well and was out of the way. This is the only photo I have where you can sort of see it, because I have since sold the car.

GU ST 4.2 TURBO. 9000lb Warn, Snorkel, 4" Lift, 33" BFG Muddys, ARB Locker, Outback Drawers, Dual Batteries, ARB Roof Rack, IPF HID's, GME UHF, 60lt Engel, Full 3" Exhaust and fuel pump tweaked
Top mount,to get it off just undo the handle
Bottom foot, it has 2 pins on it. The foot of the high lift has 2 holes in it. The foot just sits over the 2 pins.
I did it this way for a few reasons,
1 it had to be quick and easy to get off WITHOUT the use of any tools.
2 it had to look good while the high lift was on it
3 it still had to look clean and good when the high lift wasn`t on it.
4 didn`t want it laying flat on the tray taking up esky room.
5 wnated it as a bit of a feature that at the same time didn`t stick out like dogs balls.
