[j99mud]

Right folks im stumped got me a shiny new Hi-Lift Jack for Christmas and a "loc-rac" to mount it with it says on the box "a convenient mounting and locking device for storage of your Hi-Lift jack" however i can not see how this will hold the jack i am going to mount it to the right of the rear door any one know how i just cant see how it is going to hold it in place!

I gave up on it and bought one from Mill Services Just couldnt find anywhere for the Loc-Rac that worked.

I may be wrong but isn't the loc rac just the locking mechanism for the jack?

You probably need the mounting kit to fit the jack to the vehicle.

Have a look at these pictures from the Hi-Lift website

While on the subject was the best place to mount a hi-lift on a nice shiney 110?

guys either u can mount it to ur rear bulk head or the door all depends on the size of the jack ie 4ft or bigger or i think u can get those fan dangle bits that make em stan up on the back with a wheel carrier

It is a mounting device.
There should be two parts to it, the lock that Luffy has pictured and a smaller attachment that will slot into one of the holes in the foot of the jack.
The full kit looks like this:


I mounted mine on the bulkhead in the rear tub. A 5' Hi-Lift will fit across the bulkhead with no problems.  

If you can't figure it out then I'll take some photos of the foot mounting and post them for you.  :D

At the moment mines mounted across the back of the bulkhead but it's a bit awkward to get at sometimes, especially if there's a lot of kit in the back.

I'm about to start making a swing-away wheel carrier that will also take the hi-lift so it will then be mounted on the back of the truck.  Some people don't like it there as it gets dirty but I like the look of them there and plan to look after it :)

i had mine on the rear right hand side of the 90, but removed it in the end due to it catching on the spare when opening the door, now mounted on bulkhead, as luffy said, bit of a pain to get at, but may not get so rusty now.

I have seen the swing away carriers with mounting plates on, look to be a good idea, and i must admit easiest place to get hold of when needed.

i think i have seen some mounted across the back cross member, below door also, but would gather even more c**p their??

While we are on the subject of High Lift Jacks were is the best place to buy one ??

[j99mud]

i found christmas was the best place i.e get given one as a pressie. but scorpion do them that is where mine was from

[LANDYTIM]

I bought my hi-lift on ebay for a tenner!

CANT GO WRONG AT THAT PRICE!

I had mine mounted on the rear left hand side. a U bolt round the bumperette and through the hi-lift base and then also a bolt through the body and jack. That worked for me......

My mate also has his hi-lift fitted with a fitting kit on to his bonnet, just at the windscreen end!

i fitted mine 2 the roll cage using two locracs one at each end  looks good and is easy to get at

in the 90 I hacked 2" off and fitted it length ways along a wheel arch

You did do well at that price if it's a Genuine Hi-Lift and not one of those cheap Farm-Jacks.
