73/74 hi-lift mounts?

[Irish11]

Random question time. After some searching I haven't found many options on where to put my hi-lift in my 73. I am looking for ideas or how you all store yours (yes I know some just store them in the garage because its safer, however I've found when you need it, it does come in handy). @HomerOz 's side mount comes to mind: Some new Side Steps, for my BJ73. - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/some-new-side-steps-for-my-bj73.1031421/ or maybe the older Manafre style spare tire mount. Anyway, I am up for ideas.

Did you figure something out?
Thinking of mounting one myself.

Do you have a roof rack?

Low budget soft top means no roof rack.
I’m thinking the easiest thing would be to put it on the front porch bumper.

Best solution that I have found… I’ll be doing this soon. I believe it’s the OEM Jerry can hinge mounts. I screen shot this from YouTube awhile ago.

I have a bumper with swing outs. I have storage boxes hanging out in that location.

Have the same issue.
Figured that rear or front bumper would be best, in terms of weight height, strength of structure (FRP TOP mounted rack is not the way to go in my eyes), and available real-estate.
Please do share your solution.
Good luck

I see a lot of Jeep owners (aka, the rubber duck guys) mount their jacks on the hood or on the brushbar flush with the hood but having a large “potential projectile” there always gave me the heebie-jeebies.

@umpqua did something similar, but utilized the tabs of the ARB with some standoffs.

Builds - Portland Troopy Build

Hey umpqua, Saw you and your rig going east on Hwy 6 just outside Tillamook yesterday. How was camping? I presume you were coming back from another weekend enjoying the Troopy. It looked good for the few seconds I could get a look. I’m in Portland visiting a friend. If timing works I’d love to...

Has served him well through over 2 years of traveling from the US to the bottom of South America. More real world experience that average Jeep owner.
