so many places to mount it, just up to your imagination, many mount somewhere on the rear tire rack, from bumper, windshield sill upright, try doing a search and it should come up with a bunch of results, "high lift mount", two bolts could mount it many places.
like guppie said there are tons of places to mount them, most put them on a rear tire carrier of some sort or inside the cab. a guy in VI cruisers has it mounted to the tub just in front of the drivers side door if i recall correctly. and with the rattle....i dont know about your cruiser but are you realy gunna notice a little bit more noise?! 2 bolts almost anywhere will do the trick and if it rattles just put some rubber washers between the jack and the nut or washer
Has anyone got their hi-lift jack stolen of their rigs.....? That is if they drive with their hi-lift jack on.
My buddy out here has his locked. He's got it mounted to the front bumper, but the two bolts coming out through the jack have holes in them for a lock to fit through. Both bolts are locked with masterlocks.
He hasn't had problems yet.
I mounted mine behind the seat like Mr Manny did, you can search mr manny hi-lift and find some pic

I may grow older but I refuse to grow up!
Brian put his on the bumper. It doesn't rattle that I know of.....Right Brian?
Here's a thread with more hi-lift mounting, including pics of my setup...

Mine is diagonal on the rear swing out.. It's a 5 footer.
Lt me just say, that you want fast access to a high lift. You don't want it too complicated to get to when you are out on the trail.
Rubithon '05 saw a rig roll, and had a driver pinned with his head under the roll cage. (you might have read my article in Trails)... We had to high lift the cage off of his head. (soft dirt, fortunately).
Point is -- If you need it, make sure you can get it off/out quickly.

Ditto... on the taking it off when not using it.. Only mall cruisers have them on for "looks"

that's what I do - I have it strapped in with dog collar bands behind the rear bench, both ends rest on the wheelwells
anti-rattle: I have carpet underneath and pipe foam insulation from the hardware store wherever else may be a source of rattle; I reposition the foam when needed
TONS of threads on this topic out there... mine is here on the rear rack
