I couldn't firgure out a good place or method for locating the HiLift, so I bolted it on.

I used two, 3"x 1/2" grade 8 bolts with shoulders, lock washers and Nylock nuts.

I couldn't firgure out a good place or method for locating the HiLift, so I bolted it on.

I used two, 3"x 1/2" grade 8 bolts with shoulders, lock washers and Nylock nuts.

Drilled a 1/2" hole all the way through the carrier and attached the bolts as seen in the pic above.

I then mounted the HiLift on the bolts and used one Nylock nut on one side. I didn't tighten it all the way.

When it's time to go wheeling I'll just pull the Nylock and replace it with another wingnut.

On the otherside I used a wingnut.

The problem with mounting the jack back here is you will hit the tailgate when you lower it.

So now if I open the tailgate, I remove the wingnut and swing the jack down out of the way.

Piece of cake.

Finished product.

One last thing, the bolt holes MUST be precise. You can't bend anything to fit. I found out the hard way.

Nice work, <STRIKE>Macgyver</STRIKE> Ken. Very clever design!

I wanted the 60", but I'd have nowhere to put that monster.

I was going to mount mine like yours, but the tire is in the way. That is going to change, I promise that.

I like the little padlocks. Instead I ran a 3ft cable lock around the back of the tire carrier and through a couple of jack holes.

For drilling through the metal I used a Black and Decker brad point 1/2" bit on a cordless drill. I couldn't believe the cordless worked better than the air drill. Must be a torque thing because the cordless went through it like butta'.

Oh, isn't our jack nice and shiney.

Do you guys also carry a base for the jack of some sort? If so where?

Yes, in a Trail Duty gear bag in the bed of the truck.

How big is the base you use?

I really like the install Ken...but with the GOBI ladder I don't think it would work for me. I'm going to have to find something soon...[cough] hi-lift mount for the stealth rack[cough cough]

Hey has anyone heard from timgco in awhile??

You should get one of these... Handle Keeper

Looks damn nice Ken!

It's the one pictured here: http://www.hi-lift.com/products/offroadbase.htm Can't say that I ever measured it but I'd guess it to be 10 inches square.

Here is a link from Az Hog on mounting a Hi-Lift Jack on a SMA Tire Carrier, it will work for H1 & H2.

the web site is www.azhog.com

Look under Hummer Technical Information, and then look for Hi-Lift Jack Mounting for SMA Tire Carrier for H1 & H2.

I did the mount on my H2 and the cost for parts was right at $20.00
