Phil, I was bored so I cleaned your truck for you.

I mounted my Hi Lift at the rear.

Some 3/16" flat bar, a couple of 1/2" stainless bolts and wing nuts, and a couple of rubber blocks from those pickup tie downs. Took about 60 minutes to make and cost less than $15.00 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Interesting Phil...how about a close up of the attachment.

Just thought of another place to possibly attach...the outside rail of the rear ladder???

Already is a bit too much weight with the ladder...need to find extra power plungers to replace factory's.

Absolutly no room for a spare up there but at this height I can get into any gas station car wash and parking garage etc.

I keep my spare in the back for the reasons Phil mentioned, i.e. the event of a flat . It's on my truck volt so does not leave much space, however this is not a DD anymore and groceries will still fit on the top of the spare or on the pasenger seats.

If I go camping with a lot of stuff I put it on top if I need I need the space. For a trip like Moab it will stay in the back. For a trip to the hardware store or Costco where I need space I take it out and take a risk

I can get it in and out of the back on my own easily enough but getting a 37 up top is a work out. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey Alec,

Do you worry about that tire becoming a 100+ lb missle if you have an accident?
