number one: where are you going to lift the truck up with the hilift???? the hitch?

I made a mount just like the $30 one they sell....dont have it mounted yet, but it's just like the one that mounts to a toolbox, or flat bed, or bedside.

I want one of the extreme ones.....the black/dark grey ones in 60".

can be used as a makeshift winch when tied to straps or cable. can be used as a jack to lift the truck off the ground.

you jack your truck up when you get stuck. and use it to winch. and thats another question i meant to ask. what could i do for jack points and how can i put tow hooks back on the front since my BL took them away? i do plan on gettin a offroad bumper sometime soon though.
