What are some of the ways people are carrying hi-lifts? I have found two options that might work for me (I don't have a bumper tire mount or any such thing...relatively stock vehicle):
1. I have a front runner roof rack, so I could attach it to that via the optional accessory they sell or some other means (e.g. quickfist clamp). I'm not crazy about this option since it puts the weight up so high, and also looks like it would catch a lot of wind on the highway.
2. Just drop it across the footwell of the back seat. This seems like the best option. It keeps it down low and also keeps it clean, yet accessible. I would need to find some way to hold it tight against the rear seat to keep it from moving around, especially in the case of a roll-over. Ideal would be to build some sort of box that held it so it is not getting a constant stream of apple-jacks and cookie crumbs from the monsters that inhabit that region. Of course it doesn't earn any poser points there.
Other ideas?
