In Vehicle Hi-Lift Storage

Those of you that have a Hi-Lift and have not yet found a good secure spot to store it for daily driving or even for off road trips, here is a pretty easy mod.

Secure your jack to the factory rear seat hinges. This will keep the jack out of the way, secured tightly to the vehicle, and safely out of the elements:



Mounting Hardware - About $20
Qty 2 = 1/2" x 3" full thread flange studs w/size 13 threads
Qty 2 = 1/2" nylon lock nuts
Qty 2 = 1/2" wing nuts
Qty 2 = 1/2" lock washers
Qty 8 = 1/2" fender washers

Mounting Location
Far right hinge on passenger side seat
Middle hinge on passenger side seat

I chose to do both hinge location points on the same "wide" rear seat so I can still fold down one seat and leave the driver side rear seat to allow for my kids' carseat to maintain in use position; otherwise you will be required to fold down both seats


Mounting Instruction - About 30 Minutes
I used a 1/2" metal drill bit and with the seat bottoms folded down, drilled through the center of metal hinge and out through the plastic covers. I decided to leave the plastic covers on to maintain the factory look across the entire rear seating area.

Next, was to put one fender washer on the bolt and slide through the hole, then a second fender washer followed by a nylon lock nut and tighten down. The outside passenger hinge is very easy to secure as there is ample access to hold the bolt straight while tightening. The middle passenger hinge however is quite another story. Since the drilled hole is only about 3/16" and the bolt is 3", once the nylon lock engages it will be extremely difficult to keep the bolt from wanting to twist out of alignment, also with little to no room to maneuver a ratchet it is very hard to get enough leverage to turn it straight. Take your time on this one otherwise it will get 'frozen' half way and you'll get stuck **ask me how I know**.

Once both bolts are tightly secured to the hinges, fold the seat bottoms back up. Although not required, I sheared down the remaining 4 fender washers so they had two flat or square sides so the entire washer fit into the grooves of the Hi-Lift I-beam. Slide on one fender washer, which will go against the back of the nylon lock nut on each stud, the fit your Hi-Lift onto the studs in the desired center holes (play around with your wanted positioning). Once you have the Hi-Lift in the holes you want, put on the last two fender washers, then a lock washer on each side followed by the wing nuts and tighten them down.

Your Hi-Lift should now be tightly stowed away out of the elements and keep you from being harmed.

High Beams upgrade
stock: 9005, 12.8V, 65W, 1700 lumens, 320 hours
new: 9011, 12.8V, 65W, 2530 lumens, 320 hours

The 9011 bulbs have a double-wide top ear on the plastic bulb base, this is to comply with the law requiring different bulbs to have different bases.
The extra-wide plastic top ear is easily trimmed or filed to make the bulb fit your headlamp's bulb receptacle. Once that's done, they go directly into the headlamp, and the existing sockets snap on. Please see HIR bulb base modification for details.

Do not use 9011 in a lamp originally designed to accept a
9006 bulb, it's neither safe nor wise. And most fog lamps cannot effectively focus the large amount of light from a
9012 or 9011 bulb without creating dangerous (and illegal) levels of glare regardless of lamp aim.

Alternative slightly less expensive the HL78310
Susquehanna MotorSports - Auto Performance Product. But given the short life span of these bulbs and higher wattage I wont use them.


Blacked out headlamps.

how is the foot room with this mod, it seems a little in the way.. would back seat riders have it touching the back of their calves, are those bolts gonna be rubbing up against the passengers ... good idea

Fortunately for me, it's just my kids in the back seat when we aren't in the Landcruiser (family car) and with the car seats it's kind of like a foot rest. The end of the bolts do stick out a bit and obviously I could have gone with a shorter length, but outside of initial enty/exit it's pretty much out of the way. What I like the best is that I can still fold down the rear seats if necessary.

Thanks-

Did this one while at the parents house today. This is a 2 min job and when I reset the onboard avg mpg it went from 17 to 20. It may not be the most accurate reading tool but never the less it improved. Glad you posted this!

Regarding the hi-lift on the rear seat hinges. When I go out camping etc. I normally just remove the back seat bottom. With the bottom removed I gain a few extra inches of useable cargo space. Looks like I coud secure the jack down there and still flip down the rear seat backs.

Looks like a great solution!

If you try this out, let us know how it works! I take the seat bottoms out too, to fit an air mattress in the back. If I could keep a high lift in that location, while also laying the seats down, that would be great!
Great idea, OP!

Asmara's rear-seat USB mod. Shouldn't be too hard. It's just hooked up to the cigarette lighter circuit.
