Transporting Hi-Lift Jack in/on your 100 (1 Viewer)

[stewbo]

Im buying a hi-lift jack probably the 48" size unless I can figure out how to transport around the 60" model.
I'm looking for options that don't inlcude buying the new rear bumper, at least right now.
Do you guys attach it to the roof rack?
Keep it in the back?

Thanks again,

Stock roof rack works well if you don't have a front bar or nice rear bumper. Keep the high-lift close to the edge.

Hoser,
Christo's site says that the hi-lift mount is for the 80 series. Will it work for a 100 too?


Edit: Never mind, I'm retarded. I went to the Yakima site and I see that you just have to get the Mighty mounts that mount to the 100 roof rack.

It says "Fits 1991-1997 FZJ80 Land Cruisers with factory roof rack or aftermarket cross bars." I am guessing if it fits aftermarket bars, it should fit 100 series bars. Call Slee. I don't need these, I have a Slee bumper!!

I can fit a 60" sideways in the footwell of the second row (on the 80). I bolt it down.

I would be *very* careful about putting it lengthwise on the roof. If you were to brake hard or rear end somebody you now have a potential javelin being flung off your roof into the other guy's car.... Better use serious mounts...

If safety is the concern, I'd have the jack on the outside rather than the inside. It's mounted with two 1/2" bolts. I don't think its likely to go anywhere unless you flipped the vehicle or knocked it off going into a low clearance garage.

If you "tie" it down in the back, consider getting some quickfist clamps, they work great for in cab tie downs.

If your truck is stock, then a hi-lift jack is going to do you no good. No place to hook it up to. So you can either get bumpers that allow you to jack the truck up, or go for an exhaust jack.

I saw this a guy using the high lift on the hitch receiver https://www.expeditionexchange.com/hilift/DSC01015.jpg, is this a bad idea?

I was going to use the high lift with the wheel attachment https://www.expeditionexchange.com/hilift/DSC04319.jpg to lift the wheels up.

I have a brush guard on the front so i was thinking of using the bumper attachment for that.

Let me know if i'm headed in the wrong direction

the nicest attachment for a Hilift are sliders...

"I have a brush guard on the front so i was thinking of using the bumper attachment for that.

That would be the wrong direction. The stock bumper and the brush guard will not support the weight of the vehicle.

Just order that Slee rr bumper then you'll have a GREAT place to put the Hi-Lift (48 or 60) Ask me how I know
