LISTENER FEEDBACK
Happy new year gents. I heard the discussion about Hi-Lift mounts for Jeremy’s Jeep. I have mine on a Dominion Off Road bracket, bolted to the rear roll bar. It tucks nicely behind the roll bar and fits under both hard and soft tops. I also have the extra brackets for my murder-spork and an axe.
Keep the shiny side up!
