Have a look through these - some pretty cool mounting solutions. There's one with brackets mounting the jack to the second row seats frame.

Nope, no roof rack I'm afraid. I think it's too long to be mounted sideways on the bumpers too  We're not stuck...just enjoying the scenery! |

There's no elegant solution to internally storing & mounting a 60" Hi-Lift in a 90.
Does it HAVE to be 60"? Personally I'd take a grinder to it and turn it into a 48", then, the World is your mollusc  Chris |

Starting to agree Chris. I've got a lifted 90 so don't think a 48" would get a wheel off the ground to change it! We're not stuck...just enjoying the scenery!

Like it has been said what is the need for a 60".
This was my old 90.  Click image to enlarge And this is where my jack was stored, it did the job fine being only a 48" and rarely got near the top. You could possibly mount a 60" like this but would have to be careful of tree's. Click image to enlarge |

Cut a foot off the jack and use a rachet strap to restrain your axle droop when you need to jack a wheel off the ground.
Or just use a bottle jack, they're much smaller, lighter and don't look quite so daft. Mo The Land Rover 90 - Many are called, few are chosen. 50 Shades of Pennine Grey |

The Gwynn Lewis dislocation cones allow a bar to be put through them and the coil spring stopping the axle articulate when jacking! Don't know if any other brands cater for this!
