I've seen a few guys mount them up to the rear seat using some brackets added to the upper seat brackets.. Anyone have a write up to either make a set or a link to a company that sells them? All the old links I have aren't working anymore.

Thanks!

 

River raiders site is down but http://www.morris4x4center.com/river...FQqsaQodAiQBNQ and http://www.quadratec.com/products/12...FZWMaQodSVgNew has it

 

Thanks! I think that might have been the link I had.

 

I saw a video where a guy disassembled the seat & put some bolts through the steel frame of the back rest. It looked like a good bit of work but probably not going anywhere.
I've also heard a 48 in. Hi lift will fit under the back seat with a little massaging. That's the route I'm thinking of doing. I currently use that space for storage but it's really a bunch of junk that I don't really need.

I like the jack out of the eliminates. In my TJ I had it mounted to the cage with exhaust clamps right above the "trunk". It didn't interfere with the top & was inside the Jeep.

 

Thanks for the response! I already carry my spare axles and repair kit under the seat so I've got no room under there. I 100% agree with keeping the Jack out of the elements, especially up here in MN!

 

Axles ehh? I've been looking for a good place to stow mine.

 

Yep! Dana 30 axles fit pretty well under there. Is the "ehh" a Minnesotan joke? LOL

 

This is how I made mine.
Materials:
3/8 x 2 1/2'' bolt
3/8'' fender washers
2 1/2" pipe clamp from my shop
Carriage bolts
Harbor Freight rubber mallet
Stock spare tire retainers

Drill hole in apex of pipe bracket, weld bolt to bracket.

Remove seat back and pull the cover off. Mark then drill for the pipe hanger. Bolt to seat pan with 3/8 fender washers on inside and nylock nuts.

Use hole-saw to cut cores from both ends of rubber mallet and cut disks from core.

 

Transferring the weight to the seatback could have some ill effects in an accident. If you don't have kids that ride in the back, it's probably fine. It's also kind of a bummer that the proper brackets cost $75. Seems a little excessive for what you get.

 

No sir, I'm not that clever.

Pretty much the video I was trying to find.
To me it would make more sense to mount it as far down to the floor as possible. Less stress on the hardware. But then it would definitely be in the way when you lay the seat down.
I noticed there is a ton of room where the wiper motor resides. Now to find a good way to utilize that wasted space.

 

Yeah after looking at it I might just make some.. It's about 30 mins of work to bend them up and make them...

 

I could get you some pics, but I've got bolts with wing nuts that are under the rear seat. The High lift fits under the seat bottom in the cubby area. Keeps it out of the way.

 

Pics please

 

I have mine under the seat. 20 minute project. Hammer the hump down so the jack will fit and seat will latch. Drill two 3/8" holes in the hump (spacing determined by jack), install two 3/8 bolts with fender washers on top and bottom to spread load. Put nuts on that to lock bolts to body making a pair of studs. Then drop jack on new studs and secure with washers and wing nuts. So easy, you shouldn't need a pic.
