Mounting Hilift Jack On Hilux Drawbar

Hilift on Hilux
Stud and block welded to drawbar support

Be sure to have enough thread sticking through so you could maybe have a shovel attached as well
Make sure your weld has penetration
Shovel with hole drilled in blade to allow it to be bolted to the same stud that the hilift is
Cheating I know, but the hose clamp works and stops the jack handle rattling

Hilift on Hilux
| Material and /or Parts | |
|---|---|
Approx Time: | 2 hours |
| 1. | Mig or Arc welder |
| 2. | 2 * 25mm * 12mm * 5mm steel blocks |
| 3. | 2 * 14mm * 75mm long bolts and nuts |
| 4. | 2 * Flat washer and spring washers to suit |
Depending on your drawbar this may not suit you, but hopefully it will give you some food for thought how it can be achieved to suit your circumstances.
A good practice before you do any sort of welding on your vehicle is to disconnect the battery or batteries and make sure you have a good earth.
Also check to make sure any wiring is well clear of where the welding is to be done. The heat caused from the welding can cause the wiring to melt and lead to bigger problems.
Tip
Have a spotter ( a person you can rely on ) with you when you do this job also a little fire extinguisher wouldn't go astray.
