So I need some creative ideas on how where to mount a high lift to my roll cage. Ideally it would be somewhere semi-protected, but not interfere to much with the back seat area, but that may be hopeless on both counts. These things are pretty, but jeez, $89 to mount a $50 jack that's probably gonna get mangled next time I roll hard?
Ideas?
Thanks,

Not lockable if you're worried about that, but these are pretty cool. Sierra Expeditions is a great vendor as well.

weld two bolts to the cage, use wing nuts to secure the jack, then drill out the end of the bolt so that you can put a small lock on it if you think someone will try to steal it. ten bucks and you are done.

Like kevin said or what I used on mine were some u-bolt thingies that are used on towers that my dad had extra of. The piece that slides over the u-bolt is made to fit around tube so it fits snugly against the cage and doesnt slip. The holes in the jack fit over the part of the ubolt sticking out and then uses a plate to sammich the jack to it. Use one on each side and one has a lock on it. Very simple and removable. Probably find the clamps at a radio shack maybe or online.
like this but w/o the thingy on the left

exhaust clamps and a wingnut on one of the bolts works well too

Hmm, I like those Quick Fist things, Kevin. Then I could move it if I had too. I am not concerned about lockable. I saw a do it your self using exhause hangers somewhere on the web, but it looked like a pain to get the jack on & off.
I also need to figure out where on the cage I am going to stick it, any opinions there? Maybe I could use those quick fist deals and attach it to the tire carrier. Might stick out too much or get whacked hard if I roll though.

Hmm. What's a jack for?
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
to pull dents out of motels

maybe in one of these spots if you have room....on the inside of the tube, not the outside
the yellow line is the jack standing up right infront of the tire...depending on how much room you have there, the tip of the jack might be sticking out or you might be able to cut the tip off and shorten it

im liking either the blue or the red lines
Blue looks the best to me.
