This is about the only kind of jack I could possibly use and not really wanting to mount it to the bedsides how does this look/work? I haven't drilled any holes yet. It cold possibly fit inside of the box but there really isn't enough room there now for what all I have in it.

That looks like a perfect spot for a Hi-Lift jack to me. It even matches the color of your truck

Mine is stuffed in the camper shell under the compartment floor.

Looks great to me in that location.

How about mounting it in the lid of the toolbox, looks like it might grows legs and walk in that location. Or mount to front of toolbox. How much are they going for these days?

Really nice truck, always enjoy looking at it.... J.

No room inside of the lid. The mounts are made so that it can be locked.

Do you have any room on the inside of a frame rail?

Mudder · 07-16-2007, 07:04 PM

Could mount it on the outside of the frame rail but wouldn't last long with all the road trash here.

msgross · 07-16-2007, 07:22 PM

I like it there, or if you want to save flor room you could move it up 6-8". But I doubt that you do much "haulin" with that truck...

**jaros44sr** · 07-16-2007, 07:30 PM

Sorry, didn't realize it was mounted there... long weekend I guess. Let me change my opinion to say I like it right there...

Looks good there. When using that jack in the mud make sure your heads out of the way of the flying handle from slick hands. I wear a pretty good scare on my forehead from one (7 stitches) . Made me see them circling stars too.

looks good.

I`d mount it up closer to the latches.You`d have all your floor space and it would be slightly visible for cool factor

.You`d be able to wipe the floor easier,too.
