Title: Where do you all keep your highlift jack?
Post by: 90sam on June 09, 2007, 15:28:28: Bought a 48" hi-lift jack from land rover world show today and was wondering where about i could keep it. At the moment it's wedged behind the front seats but i would like somehwere better to store it! I was thinking maybe drill through the bulkhead, anyway how do you all store yours?

Post by: tonycougar on June 09, 2007, 22:55:00: I put mine inside just laid on the floor except when I go off roadin then it gets bolted (with a proper high lift kit) to the top of the roof at the rear. If I could find a pic of it I'd post one.

Post by: Bob696 on June 10, 2007, 19:52:23: lengthways against the wheel arch in the back of the 90. Used a carrier from mill services. Had to cut a couple of inches so I could close the door though :-(

On the 110 it is bolted (and padlocked) to the roof tie down again using a jack carrier from mill services

Post by: Litch on June 13, 2007, 20:09:28: In the shed!

In 20-years ownership I have used it once for recovery yet plenty of times in the garden (very good for lifting tree stumps out of the ground).

Post by: Eeyore on June 21, 2007, 16:37:08: Mines bolted down along the rear wheel box. Same place in the racer too. It's indoors, so it's away from the elements and from the light-finger-fairies that seem to be too common these days!

Just a as quickie, does anyone esle realise the weight limit for the roof load on a Defender is about 75kg. Which, in theory, includes the roof rack as well. Makes you wonder! :wink:

Post by: Les Henson on June 21, 2007, 18:40:56: I have mine mounted on a tray that's welded to the rear crossmember - a padlock goes through the two to stop some scrote from swiping it. The clamp on the bodywork came with the jack.

Post by: Mareng on July 07, 2007, 17:20:46: I have mounted mine up on the roof rack, using mounts bought from the same company I got the jack from (I forget which one)

The height is ok for me, with 2" lift and my new mahoosive tyres, a person of smaller stature might struggle to get it down...
