I have the same mounting points on my wheel carrier. But was told of one breaking near the hinge.

Yes, i originaly wen,t with that idea, ordered mine at the same time as Mike,but he experienced slight ripelling of the side panel, which made me doudt the idea.Mind, Mike is agressive to say the least when offroading, softlaning would probably be OK.

Someone at Devon had theirs mounted in place of the rear bumper, names escape me :oops:
It makes sense to keep that lump of iron as low as possible and at the same time easily accessible. If you're not laning then put it under the rear bench so it's out of sight?

mines on the roof rack, not the best of places.. I keep on meaning to mount it to the rear bumper, 2 M10 bolts through the bumper and jack, then maybe M10 wingnuts holding it on

Had mine on the roofrack for syncro 25, would imagine it would be impossible to get down when your covered in mud, just when you most need it :roll:
