Hi-Lift Jack's, Where & How do you mount it?

For the People with a Hi-Lift Jack, Where & How have you mounted it in the Explorer?

Well I'm getting a tire carrier made right now and I'm gonna bolt 2 studs through the bottom bar and slide mine sideways onto it. Then secure it with a couple of big wingnuts.

I made my own roof rack to put the hi-lift along with other things. Here is a good pic of the hi-lift mount:

Chris -

Although I usually mount mine up in my roof rack (a little different than Josh and Brian), I have also secured it at times in the back of my Sport.

With the jack in the vinyl cover, I just cinch down two friction straps on the rear-most "C" hooks (the ones for the net).

There is just enough room for the jack to lay flat along the width of the hatch area. This works in my '91, not sure if it'll work in your late model Sport (especially with your interior tire mount).

I put mine inside the truck just like how Paul described. It fits perfectly and I strap it down with my other gear. My truck is too tall to be mounting something heavy like that on the roof.

I carry my Hi-lift Jack on my spare tire carrier that mounts in my rear tow Hitch.

Normally it sits straight up, but in the pic it's tilted over to allow the rear hatch to open.

Rear Tire Carrier/Hi-Lift

I am looking for someone to fab up a custom rear bumper cuz tilting that tire up and down is a pain!!!!!

Hope this helps.

What were the size of the ones in the interior of the truck? I know some have 60" and some 48" and so on, If we could know the size as well as the location it would be greatly appriciated.

Mine is a 48", but i've never tried it inside so i have no idea how well it fits.

Happy trails!!

 

[Paul Gagnon]

It is the 48" that fits inside across the back.
