Sure do miss seeing your 3rd gen. Brian, but thanks for the advice. (not to say your 1st gen isn't awesome or anything, because it is).

 

I'd get the 60. remember that the Hi-Lift also works as a winch/block and tackle for shot winching needs. All you need is the optional accessory kit. The only thing is if you get the 60" it will be almost impossible to store inside unless you go diagonally in which case it kills your rear storage space. I put mine up on the roof as I plan on camping in the back of my runner so I leave the back empty.

 

Here's a couple shots of where mine is. The Confer Brackets were already welded on to the ARB when I bought it from SteveO, so I just used them.

This is on Wheeler Lake in CO


This is my Fiance driving in Moab

 

Mine is stored in the back just like snwbrdpunk's. It's the 48 inch. love that jack! makes doing a bodylift super easy too!

I think there, or on the bumper is the best shot. up high on the roof is a PITA IMO.
EDIT: its a pita to get down/up imo, and I live in the rust belt, where they salt the roads if it LOOKS like its gonna be COLD, let alone snow.

Albuquerque Jim- is that the mrs driving in the 2nd pic? that is sweet you let her drive the rig! how does she like it?

 

You are a lucky lucky man. My girlfriend just wants to ride, doesn't even want to learn how to drive a manual.

 

Mine's just like Steve S's and Lance's:

Midiwall - I'm assuming that is a 48 inch. Looks nice and clean. I think I've decided to go with the 48 and I just ordered a RB 1 inch lift so the maiden voyage will be the install.

Thanks for all the great pics!!

 

Yeup, that's a 48, a 60 would have to go up top, or at an angle along the long side liek seaflea's, which is a cool idea.

Good luck on the BL! That's on my list as well.

 

to all u guys who have mounted your hi lifts.... where would u mount it on a tundra with no roof rack and no bed cover and no space in the cab?

 

Inside of the bed, up on the side. HiLift makes a locking mount just for this purpose:




You might wanna put it in a bag too:

 

Here is a pic that Jim's (mytruck) wife Trudie took a few Fall Colors trips ago.



I believe it is a Demello rock slider mounted up there, and makes for a cool mount for the jack.

That is either members Jruz's or Jowie's Tacoma.

 

can the hi lift lift the truck using the tubular step bars? my sidesteps are mounted onto the frame.. and the part where u step is welded onto the the munts.. would it be sturdy enough to use for the hilift to raise the truck?

 

Yep, that is she. That was her maiden voyage wheelin' she loved it. She said it's nuch better than riding all the time. She drove most of the day that day on Gold Bar Rim, Moab.

 

Let her drive? The clutch was letting off smoke signals from Jim. She took over so it would make it home!!! LOL

Is the first pick from Wheeler?

 

im glad i bought the 60, were close in the same boat, im running 35's and 7" suspention lift, so the 60 is worth it and paid for its self

 

You should attach an audio file of Michelle screaming on the first drop off. That was a riot!

Yeah, Jim's first pic is from Wheeler.

 

Well, I forgot to mention one thing...

If you have a Hi-Lift and sliders...you need a Hi-Lift Slider Adapter I got a fresh stock supply in today!

 

Snaps for the Hi-Lift slider adapter!

I don't know... I once made the mistake of letting her try to drive a manuall... it didn't sound good to say the least. Ever since then I decided I didn't like my car screaming for help when she was trying to shift.

 

Here's mine. I used the Slee Off-road custom mount.
