here you go

IMHO It needs to be inside the vehicle and secure.

The last thing you need is a hilift mechanism with mud in it. They can be damaging to the operator anyway.

Sticking it on the roof is better for keeping it reasonably clean but... They are heavy and could affect the centre of gravity. I've been in situations where a hilift on the wrong side might have been the difference between stopping on 2-4 wheels and rolling.

As I said just my honest opinion.

if you put it inside, dont bury it too deep, the last thing you want to do is have to unpack half your stuff, or climb about inside the truck whist covered in mud.
personally i'd stick it on either the roof rack, or the back door... wherever you put it will be a compromise.

yellowdisco:
I used to have mine bolted across the inside of the back door, low down. Easy to get at and protected from crap when not in use. I thought I had a picture somewhere but cant find it now  :( .  I had replaced my rear door card with chequer plate so easy job to bolt the hi-lift on and still plenty of space for a fold down shelf above  :) . Alternatively, just throw it behind the front seats like a lot do!
