That looks great, Alan. Are the Hi-lift mounts clamped to the tube which circles around the front from the rollcage?

MC, you don't get to decide if it's a bummer to me. My plan didn't work, and that was a bummer.

Also, to me, a bottle jack is hydraulic. This little jack isn't. Screw jack may not be the correct term, but it's not a bottle jack, as I understand the term.

Joe

That's correct Joe, they attach to the tube in front of the grill. I got them at Amazon a described below. It makes for a very sturdy mount.

Oh, and is the 36" UTV jack just a foot shorter than my 48" standard jack, or are there other differences?

Have hacksaw, can cut.

Joe

Actually the 36" length is the only difference so cut away.

Cool, Alan. Thanks so much.

This is gonna work out after all!

You may want to get a handle keeper also Joe.

Joe

Easy feller, I was deciding nothing for you. Hate it if you're bummed though. Good luck with your decision.

Nah. I've used a bicycle toe-strap for years. Works great.

Besides, I've got an oversize ball-bearing welded into the end of my handle, so the keeper wouldn't work.

I'm probably going to cut less than a foot off. I'll see once I mount it. More length is better, I reckon.

Btw, I cancelled the Amazon order and bought from Rocky Mtn ATV. Saved 8 bucks.

So far, I am very impressed with RMATV.

Looking forward to seeing that mounted. I am considering going this route some day... kill two birds: better bumper, and useful tool.

I'm a huge RMATV fan. I've ordered from many places, but they just can't be beat. I'm in PA, and my order arrive the day after I place them! I have also had to return an item, and that was very painless. Free return shipping if you are exchanging for another item.

RMATV is the only place I get most of my stuff, if they sell it and I want/need it I will get from them and they will match a price if you can find it somewhere cheaper. I get my stuff from the Utah Warehouse so living in Grand Junction, Colorado I get it in 2 day or less.

Alan, why do you remove the base?

Doesn't seem to be in the way to me.

Joe

Good question Joe and good catch to see it. I had it mounted lower before I put on the winch and did not like the small amount of clearance between the base and the tire going over rough obstacles and just left it off when I remounted it. I have it in the under hood storage box.
