I have a question regarding where to mount the Hi-Lift on my JLUR.
I don’t want to drive around with it permanently, looks to much like a mall crawler with that thing on 24/7. But I want to be able to have it with me when I go off-road.
I did like the idea to mount it inside the vehicle but the more I look at that the more it does not look like an option. 1: I will bring a bunch of dirt inside (can be cleaned out, I know). 2: But the main reason is safety. The mounts I have seen for sale does not seem to have any engineering behind them? The lift is heavy and I don’t want it come flying chopping my head off in a collision.
Front looks okay besides it blocks the headlights. Which could lead to a ticket in some states.
So I am coming down to mounting it on the back door. I can’t find anyone that make a mount for the JL besides what looks like a bunch of Chinese manufactured mounts. Could be good off course but without seeing the mount in person I would be concerned about weld quality.
Soo that was a long way to get to my question and if I have not lost you already I wonder if anyone has a recommendation for a tailgate Hi-Lift mount?
