HI lift mount locations
where do you guys have yours?
i had mine on the roof rack but took it off.
BTW is it possible to mount it on the hood? i have seen it on YJ and TJs but never XJs, i personally dont think the hood will open.

I have a sub in the back of mine as well which really leaves limited room and another issue is the lack of room for a spare tire.(which i dont think you need to worry about) I have heard of people mounting them on there bumpers but im not thinking that is the best idea.

Yeah I don't really wanna drill into my bumpers lol
I wouldn't mind drilling into my hood because I love the look of the hi lifts there but like I said I don't think you an open the hood because it opens to close to the windshield.

Moved it to my rack a coupe years ago, but now i'm thinking about getting rid of the rack and mounting it to my rear bumper.

I dont see how it wont work on the hood. You have the cowl section and the hi-lift isnt as wide as it.. and the fact the hood doesnt go all the way vertical.
However, i'd make sure the mount was solid and the underside through bolted with a few pieces of plate. Eliminate any chance it'll tear off and become a projectile in a front end collision.

Daily driver-Yes
Awkward- Not really, just slightly before i got rid of the hood prop-rod and installed an old lift gate shock to hold the hood open.
