I like that too! Andre, do you have any close-up pics?

That is my favorite mounting method - moving parts stay inside: clean and dry and I like the 60" bar.
I am sure putting it all together takes less than 5 mins!
Thanks for close-up pics

yes those are mine. I don't have any closeup pics on a truck. I just weld tubing to flat stock and weld a nut into the end. Some like a threaded stud instead so they can drill it for a luggage lock for security. I like the studs with wing nuts but for security reasons, these work out better. I also off set the pipes( not centered on the mounting bolts) so they can be flipped around to match Hi-Lift or HF farm jacks.

Thanks Andre!

I used the original aerial mounting bolts just drilled the Hi lift carrier to match that bolt pattern.

Those brackets are a great idea if mounting the whole jack on the front - much cleaner and tougher than the generic Hi-Lift mounts.
Andre - have you fab'd up anything that would mount a jack up in the rear roll bar?

I did one for a guys modified 404. It's visible behind my head in the picture. I never considered one on the roll member itself. I figured I would always be banging my head on it. Mounted it to a roof rack a few times. I did consider building a storage point for it on the inside of the rear door but that would only work on a 710(no gap at the door on a 712.

I did include a Hi lift mount on the back of my expedition rack.

I have that green and tan Pinz picture saved from a while back as I like that rack!
On that 404 is the extended doka cab bolted down on each side of the frame?

Unfortunately yes. The previous owner was a Jeep guy and he felt the frame and body needed to be tied together and the suspension would do all the work. He really limited the natural flex the truck was designed for.

you know what they say "It's a jeep thing you won't understand" I have found that statement to be sooooo true.

I cold worked the Hi-Lift 4XRAC Mounts a bit and bolted right into the antenna tube bracket holes on my K:

Be sure to lock it down. They can walk away on their own. I have had things walk away...frightening experience.
