Will ski/snowboard mounts work with High Lift Jack?

[tomp]

I don't see why this wouldn't work. The appear to have rubber/foam that will take the shape of whatever you put in them.

Great way to kill someone. Bad idea! No (scratch that) very fckin dumb idea!!!!!!!!!!!!! May as well take a rubberband, chewing gum, and attach it to your factory cross bars. :rolleyes:

What my bro Tim meant was, the ski mounts are made of (kindda) flimsy alu with (kindda) flimsy rubber tubes, while the hi-lift are made of solid cast iron weighing prob 5 or 10x.

If you don't mind the look and functionaility of the hi-lift on your roof crossbars, you can prob get big screws long enough to accomodate a solid rubber block (truck bed tie or cut-out mallet), the hi-lift, and a good-sized wing-nut, and some solid washers big enough to be retained by the crossbar channel.

Tomp, I'm sure this was joke! Tell me you were! Please!:D DO NOW!

THere are pleanty other options out there. KenP has a nice/ clean way to set this up! It's a simple way to atach it too. If you don't have a tire back there, it's even easier.

I fully agree with Tim & Finally. Don't be cheap when it comes to an heavy and potentially deadly item like a high lift jack. Shell out the few extra dollars to secure your jack properly.

Gobi makes a hi lift mounting kit, don't they?

Plus, I'd go with a lock. $22.50

After looking at the cheap mounts on these things, I have to agree with you guys! Looks like they are plastic.
