Hi-Lift stowage solution	Permalink

Another busy weekend. I have searched high and low to find a solution to storing my Hi-Lift inside the XJ. I saw some people tie them to the factory rivited loops. let's hope they never get in a accident. I wanted a way to not show it off in a parking lot, Secure it in case of the unexpected, and offer some good solid tie down points. All this without giving up too much cargo room. Well, after some cutting, fitting, cutting again, I welded this together, and installed it this weekend. So, What do you think?

Awsome! Now put a hinged peice of wood down (carpeted) on top of it all for some storage. __________________ '93 XJ Cherokee Sport - build thread '89 XJ Cherokee Laredo - build thread '88 MJ Comanche Pioneer SWB - build thread '87 MJ Comanche LWB '94 YJ Wrangler - build thread

For a while I tied down my 33" spare tire to those. Which included ending up on my side a few times.....and the tire never budged. __________________ Randy Langstraat myXJ.net

That is awesome! I keep my 35" spare right there tho. I tie my hi-lift down with nearly a dozen tie downs to multiple areas including the spare itself. __________________ 99XJ 6"Full Traction LA 35"MTR's, SYE/High Angle DS 29sp 8.25 HPD30 4.56 frt Lockrite and rear Powertrax My Pics and Specs
