Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey All,

Just got myself a high lift jack, but am wondering where to store it..
Ive seen ppl store them on the rear wheel carrier somehow, along with a spade to I think , is this a extra that I can buy? Or are they self fabricated?

I dont have a roof rack yet either so cant carry it 'upstairs'

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

PS Yea I know I could store it inside, but would prefer not to

what do yo udrive? on my 40 it's mounted on the step and held to the windscrean by a hilift holder thing that the Previous owner put on.

the rear wheel carrier things you can buy (try ARB/ other 4x4 shop) or fab. make sure you've got a strap holding the handle up if you do that, a mate of mine had his handle drop down so it stuck out, then it hit a tree. jack was fine, but it busted the mounts off his rear wheel carrier, and tore a junk outa the body on his GQ.

Sorry, I drive a GQ

you want to keep it away from mud and were dust can`t get to it cause it stops the pins from moving and you don`t no it till you need it ,try and keep it in the truck.

Hrmm...I would prefer to keep it outside the vehicle if possible....Ive heard you can get dust covers for them...might have to invest in that too...

Mine is mounted under my tray on my hilux and it does tend to get dusty/muddy.
But its not generally too much of a problem as I carry a tin of CRC with me and just give it a spray down before use.
A dust proof bag would be a very good idea though.

Kaymar make a dedicated jack and shovel holder to go on the rear door behind the spare wheel, ARB stock them, starting from 131 bucks.

Canvas jack carry bag 54 bucks
vinly protection cover 49 bucks

Buy a Pajero - there's no suitable jacking points, so a high lift is hard to justify

a plastic bag and rubber band used for a dustcover... priceless.

i made my own bracket that mounts it where the spare is
forget paying for something so simple!

the tube is welded to the spare wheel carrier and goes through the centre hole of the wheel

the T bracket is removable

in my case i mounted the jack on the spare wheel for a few years and the pins wore into the sliding surface and it sticks now.
didn't have a problem with the door hinges or anything either.
before i bought the holder i slid the jak under the back seat but mine was an ST model and i dont think you can fit it in a DX.

Don't apologize just will need to sell your GQ and buy a 40 series so you can carry your High Lift.....Dazz

lol.....nar, would rather ride in comfort

but if he sells the gq he won't need a hilift, cause 40's as we all know don't get stuck

how many people actually use their hi lifts. i think I've used mine a couple of times in the 6 years I've owned it. And then only because we were doing work on the car and it was out not because I actually needed the hi lifting. Been thinking of buying a cheap hydraulic lift welding a plate to the bottom and using it

My hilift is under the back seat of my GQ LWB
