i decided on the front bumper and got it mounted today and i think it looks great! and i had to be sure i got a lock put on it
i would have pictures up but i left the camera with the girlfriend so hopefully ill see her tomorrow and get some taken and posted.

 

deffinatly get the pics or you will get the just a warning

 

(start chanting) PICS! PICS! PICS! PICS! lol

 

I love the way It looks on the bumper, but i use my bumper for bumping haha. trails are tight/ I take trails I shouldn't and I think I would destroy it there. I keep it in the back now but plan to mount it on the basket I installed sunday

 

What's up with these companies charging for hilift mounts for roof racks like they are made out of gold??? Surco has a mount, that is 4 pieces and 6 bolts for $80??? No thank you, I'll make my own.

 

Have you had any troubles with the law because your hi-lift blocks your license plate?

 

pics coming soon?

 

yea except that if you hit something its toast,, why not the back bumper?

 

I currently live in Michigan, and that state only requires a rear plate. Thus far, I've past hundreds of cops and haven't had any problems. I've even had a cops compliment me on it.

 

I don't do too much super aggressive wheeling so I'm not worried about too much or any damage there. Furthermore, if I were rear-end some one, say, a Civic, the jack would tear apart to plastic and styrofoam bumper.

 

Do the cops ever give you a hard time for it "obstructing your view"? Just curious cause I plan to mount mine like that and the cops here ain't too fond of us XJ wheelers.

 

well my buddy has his like this and in the area we are in the popo don't bother the lifted or jeep guys they prefer to mess with the lowriding guys that is why i traded my car for a jeep and now i have more fun anyway

 

X2... I missed my rolled & totaled 04 cavalier but my XJ can do anything that little 5-spd 4-banger could do and then some.

Up by me they don't bother the off-road guys with wranglers of ford trucks, but us XJ guys don't get much in the way of slack.
BTW I have my hi-lift tied down behind my rear seat

 

I mounted mine to the back of my rear seat.

 

that is not to hard to get to attached to the seat
