    Ok, I went & did some measuring after Josephs sweet schematics got me thinking. Dark Blue or Red would barely fit, but neither would work on the inside, and the foot of the jack would stick out awkwardly. It's only 43" from floor to cieling so yellow & green are out unless I cut down the jack & Handle. Green would tricky with the air shock & yellow with the battery (been thinking about moving that anyway though). I could turn yellow about 45 degrees and stick it in there at an angle, but it would kill a good chunk of the cargo room behind the seat which is current foll of two tool tupperwares...

    Light blue might have some potential, though. It would probably stick out too much on each side and catch crap if it was just like you drew it, but I could probably rotate it 75 or 90 degrees it would barely overhang the back of the tire. I would need to modify the spare tire "handle" to attach the jack and change the angle. Perhaps cut it off, go with slightly larger tube and stick a couple bolts through?
    Thanks,

    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.

    Just giving credit where it's due

    weld some bolts on the dark blue line, use some wing nuts or lock nuts to keep it in place and call it done.

    How about accross the bottom of the front windshield. It should be wide enough, and in a roll it would not get pinned or bent. Might be in the way of opening the hood though.

    Dont forget, w/ a few simple mods, you can make a mount for the base plate of the highlift in a seperate location and that will save you a little room.

    I am going to order a bunch of those quick fist thingies & see if I can figure out anything innovative with them before going a route that would require welding. Perhaps I can even figure out a way to mount the thing on the roof - inside or outside.
    Thanks,
