Mounting 60" Hi Lift Jack
I've got a Defender 90 and need to make sure that my 60" Hi Lift Jack that currently sits in the back. I want to make sure it doesn't kill me so would like any advice on where or how to mount it (inside or outside). I've seen lots of info for the 48" but not the 60".

Thoughts or Pics?

Thanks. We're not stuck...just enjoying the scenery!

Do you have a roof rack ?

Have a look through these - some pretty cool mounting solutions. There's one with brackets mounting the jack to the second row seats frame.

Nope, no roof rack I'm afraid. I think it's too long to be mounted sideways on the bumpers too Big Cry We're not stuck...just enjoying the scenery!

There's no elegant solution to internally storing & mounting a 60" Hi-Lift in a 90.

Does it HAVE to be 60"?

Personally I'd take a grinder to it and turn it into a 48", then, the World is your mollusc Wink Chris

Starting to agree Chris. I've got a lifted 90 so don't think a 48" would get a wheel off the ground to change it! We're not stuck...just enjoying the scenery!

Like it has been said what is the need for a 60".

This was my old 90.

And this is where my jack was stored, it did the job fine being only a 48" and rarely got near the top. You could possibly mount a 60" like this but would have to be careful of tree's.

Cut a foot off the jack and use a rachet strap to restrain your axle droop when you need to jack a wheel off the ground.
Or just use a bottle jack, they're much smaller, lighter and don't look quite so daft.

The Gwynn Lewis dislocation cones allow a bar to be put through them and the coil spring stopping the axle articulate when jacking! Don't know if any other brands cater for this!
