Default Show me your hi-lifts!

I've got a hi-lift jack left over from my jeep and I'm looking for mounting solutions. I know Rangers don't get stuck...but if you have a pic of the hi-lift in action, lets see it!

pretty much what it sounds like. aka a farm jack, it is a long center section and jack mechanism that can lift up anything several feet if needed. very sketchy though

What he said. They are an extremely versatile tool to have laying around. They obviously be used to lift a vehicle but they're also able to winch and pull out fence posts. They're the "Jack of all trades, master of none."

As versatile as they are, they're also very dangerous. Great caution has to be used with them.

Google Image search "hi lift" to see them in action.

I don't have mine mounted at the moment, just set in my tool box. I guess I'm in the same position as you are, looking for a way to keep it more accessible.

I've seen pictures on other forums of custom tire-gates with hi-lift's mounted there - that's about the best I've seen. But those were custom fabrications and unfortunately, I'm a long way from being able to build or afford one of those.
