I want to mount my high lift jack on my hood. but some people have said that it will bend my hood. so. my question. what if i do self tapping screws on the part infront of the windshield. not the hood but you know when you lift the hood up. that 4 inch space between where the hood mounting brackets start and.
i dont know how to explain this.
when the hood lifts up. the part of the body thats still exposed while the hood is up right below the windshield. its the part where that grate thing is.

sorry. :/
its a 95 YJ

better off just attaching it to your tire rack. i have mine bolted down behind tire. the only way to steal it is to remove tire..... and good luck with that. lol

My spare is too big... and i have a pad lock system i crafted. and do you know what im talking about? the part that goes behind the hood?

Cowl. The 'grate thing' is the air intake for your interior ventilation.

DJ is referring to a swing out tire carrier, on a bumper. Not the stock tire mount.
If you really feel the need to carry a hi-lift, you should consider upgrading your bumpers as well anyway.

YES! that was what i was thinking. god i chouldnt think about the name. would that spot be an okay location?

 

[Anthony]

i have up graded bumpers.
smitty built all the way around.

* and its just mainly as well i dont have a jack any way. the thing was like 70 bucks. what the hell. i bought it. i just dont hav room for it in side the jeep.

I used a couple u-clamps and wing nuts, mounted to my roll bar. It sits crossways just above the rear seat. Inside, nice and dry, takes less than a minute to take out.

Back bumper behind the spare.
Sorry but I like my jeep to much to go strapin iron all over the place. Not to mention, that jack could become a freekin projectile in an accident. Put it where it belongs.

 

[NAVYCHIEF]

^x1000 yepper. cold iron does not care who it takes out. that thing in front is a windshield. it is glass not boiler plate. OUCH OUCH OUCH:doh:

 

[Anthony]

but i have smitty built tubular bumpers how can i mount a jack on a tubed surface? i bought the universal jack. can you post pics where your jack is beemerhead?

 

[Anthony]

** what about, you know in the back seat in the 95' it has like that metal arm rest on either side. what about there?

 

[93wrangler]

I have mine mounted up on the front bumper:

 

[Anthony]

So i should take off my front bumper? i am putting a winch in that spot.. im in a real pickle here... i dont wanna leave it in the car just sitting there either.

 

[djsaggs]

here is how i did mine on my jeep. mine is mounted behind my 35.

I have mine mounted up on the front bumper:

Well Done!!!

Self-tapping screws to mount a jack outside the vehicle?! Great way to kill someone when it lets go in a crash.
