Realize that this also puts a jack in plain view to help someone lift the vehicle and take your tires.

Its not free, but you should check out river raiders high lift mount. Pretty slick.

Behind the cage across the tailgate. That way you havnt wasted any money once you realize they are pain in the butt and replace it with a bottle jack.

Except when the bottle jack they give you isn't tall enough to lift your stock Jeep and you have to borrow one from a van   
Talk about embarrassing  :'(

[Bnine]

No, the embarrasing part is not knowing where to put a stock so it goes high enough and then borrowing one

This isn't my idea, I snitched it, but its easy and cheep,








Simple and effective.
If you don't have a winch just modify the idea to the front of the bumper.
With all things there are pros and cons, I'm sure plenty will be posted.
Good Luck

If you don't have that winch then I suggest you make that hi lift jack a multi teir jack carrier because you'll need more than one hi lift to get you out of some places.

I ran my hi lift on the front bumper for years but am now tired of bending them all the time. I think I've gone thru about 3 jacks over the years. When ever you want to brace to a tree while winching someone else out, or just bumping into trees the odd time they get bent. I've now located mine on the back under the two stage tire carrier and tool carrier I made. The movable parts I store inside so they don't seize up from weather abuse and the base I've also mounted separately. Not ideal either. Time to assemble keeps me from offering my jack to someone else in a quick situation and the long part interferes with the clevis's on the back for towing. Back to the drawing board.

I think Bill has the best idea. Bottle Jack. Been thinking of this for a while now too and even 2 or 3 bottle jacks of various sizes would be less cumbersome than the one hi lift.

Do you have the stock fog lights? I mounted my high lift jack by running 2, 3inch long 1/2 grade 8 bolts through the stock holes where the lights would mount........ may have cost me a $1.50, I agree on the dirt and debri plus dings but..... it was a cheap conveinient way to mount it..
