Kaymar Hi-lift Mount/Worklamp Install

So umm yeah. It finally came in from 'down under' and i don't know how i feel about it. This morning driving into work it was making the tire carrier 'bounce' a little. This worries me, because if it bounces a little on the fwy.. what's it going to do on a washboard road? Plus, im only running a 48" hi-lift. I'd really feel bad about the guys running a 60"!

I have a email into Manafre, which im sure is going to say.. "yeah its fine, they all do that"

It's not thaaaat big of a deal to me that it may bounce a little here and there.. that's why i went ahead and ordered it and gave it a shot anyways. My Xj had a kaymar and i had a hi-lift (homegrown BEHIND the tire) mount on it and it did the same thing. It never had a problem.

Anyways, i just wanted to share, because it never seems like there are enough information out there regarding this jack mount on this board or Mud(ive seen one guy).

I picked up the telscoping light too. Im really happy with this.. even though i haven't had a second to wire it up yet. It's nice how you can aim it virtually any direction you want. It will be nice for a camplight because we normally setup camp on the passenger side of the rig already. I chose a HELLA FF Ultra worklamp which should work bitchen. I think the standard setup comes with a regular HELLA lamp.

All in all , i'll probably just run the setup for a while to see how bad it is/gets offroad.

On with the pics.

SOCAL...you wouldnt happen to have a few pics of the swingaway assembly without the gear attached?

I'm thinking about having a dual swingaway made to mount on my C4x4 bumper on the XJ.

Love reading your upgrade threads...you have built an awesome vehicle.

I've been looking for a light like that. Where did it come from again?


Kaymar out of Australia. Purchased from Man-A-Fre. Largest importer of Kaymar in the USA. They are located in Simi Valley, CA and have a website.

Great looking bumper!
I've been thinking of getting that one for my Cruiser...
How's the clearance between the padlock and tailgate? It looks like it might ding up the paint a bit.
