A 48" highlift fits nicely behind the front seats on the floor

 

How did you secure it? Is it just bungeed to something?

 

 

I`ll be mounting it inside the truck this time. My first Hi Lift rusted almost solid being on the roof. The new one will be on the inside. Thanks for the ideas

 

I'm going to have to agree with the front bumper. I had my on the roof rack before but had to lower it to fit in the garage.

For all of you that mount it inside, do you ever fold down your rear seats?

I do like the idea of a rear door mount. |Link|

 

nice looking rig and bumper?? is it Iron man?? how do like it??

 

Personally, I'd never mount one inside my FJ.
A.) I'm imagining it flying into the back of my head during a collision.
B.) I know how dirty they get when they're actually used... why would you throw that much mud and crap back inside your FJ when you're done?
C.) They're not exactly small... I try to utilize as much inside space as possible.
Worried about rust? Just keep it oiled.
Mine used to mount to my roof rack, but now it's on the rear Red Eye bumper

Thats why I am looking for a way to safely secure it inside.

Its an FJ im not worried about dirt. It doesnt have carpet like a T4R so you can clean it easily.

I have no aftermarket bumper and no roof rack. So I dont have any option to store it other than inside the FJ.

 

Before I mounted mine outside I would only take it with me when I knew I might need it. The best place to put it without any modification to either the truck or jack would be the floorboards. I just leveled the area with some towels to keep it from banging around.

If your up for modifying the interior of your truck the back door option is probably best, just reassemble the jack when you need it. The other option really limits your ability to fold the rear seats and if you make it so you can fold the rear seats where will you be when you need the jack and you have it piled with stuff.

I take it you have a rock rail and then a tube adapter too then?

Yep, I picked up AP standard sliders and a RTC adapter from RDO.

Is that attached to the impact bar?

 

Outside, front bumper:

 

I am lucky to have a Lucrum winch mount to help with the attachment. I have two vertical reinforcing straps for supporting the weight of the HiLift - you can see them right at the D ring holders. To try to explain, there is a steel strap, 1 1/2"-2", that I bent slightly to conform with the curve of the bumper:

Clamped it behind the fascia of the bumper to attach the vertical supports:

Drilled three holes for attaching the HiLift:

It has been fully tested and passed with flying colors. Easy to get off and on and if muddy, the mud stays outside where it belongs.
Without the Lucrum, I would think two horizontal bars, top and bottom would hold a HiLift.
