Where should I, well we all know Bob is going to do the work, mount my hi lift? It can't go on the hood because I'm short and would beat the crap out of my hood before I managed to get it done. Unfortunately, I do not have that awesome bumper/tire carrier combo that allows for space for it in between. So does anyone have a super creative short person friendly idea? ?

I used 2 muffler clamps on the roll bar. About 6-7 bucks. you could put it low across the back.

Yes, I measured my roll bar width. Got the clamps. Clamped them on the bar and pinched thru some wiring. Fixed the wiring so it runs over the clamp. Lined them up to some open holes on the jack and got some wing nuts from the hardware store to tighten the jack down to the clamps. Can get some better pics in the daylight tomorrow.

No need for more pics unless you just really feel like taking them. Thanks for the idea

Glad I could help. If you need any other shots of how I mounted them give me a shout.

Julie's sets low inside the back of the tailgate over the hole (when she gets one) the mounts are there where the roll bar attaches to the tub. seems like a good place.
