How to make a 13$ Hi-Lift Tube Mount!

Hey guys, I had been searching around for the easiest way to make a DIY Hi-lift mount since the brand ones are well over 50$. No way I am paying almost as much for a mount, then I did for the jack! Well I saw this over on Yotatech but changed it a little.



What you will need:
-Exhaust clamps to fit your size tube (mine were 1, 7/8.) -Any Autozone
-1/2 inch bolt-Hardware Store
-Access to a welder-Your call
-4 Nuts-Same Hardware Store
- Not pictured but hydraulic hose works perfect when cut up for a spacer-Lowes

I mounted mine to mi bed bar, but I could still mount to my Arb Bull Bar, or my Trail Gear rear, I like my truck to be versatile. I could have gone and had relentless fab weld they're own tabs on to mount the Hi-Lift, but I wanted the access under the bar. I painted the parts after welding to stand out more, but its not completely necessary.







Simply install the exhaust clamps over your bar and tighten down with a wrench or socket set!





This has been on the truck 2 weeks now off road twice, and hasn't moved even a little after properly tightening down, so for those of you who don't think it looks very strong, let me assure you it is. Hope this helped someone out!
