1750gtv Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi All, it's my first post on here although I have just put one in the military section, so hello! I've just bought an early 2003 td5 SW which was in the MOD until 2018. I've got the highlift jack, handle and base plate and there are two straps under the seat. Can anyone with a SW put up a pic of how they should be mounted as I can't stop them clanging around. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If its a 90 jack & other items live behind the front seats secured to the bulkhead, on a 110 Station wagon is strapped to the left side behind the rear load bay seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Welcome to the Madhouse. Use a small ratchet straps and strap it tight against the frames. Not ideal when having passengers.. This is how we have the High-Lifts on our vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgnas Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The machine screw type stows widthways in a bag under the 2nd row seats. 2 Velcro straps lessen the movement. I think they are sewn to the carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Not on my 1989 110CSW it sits along the top of left rear wheelbox with 2 rivetted on straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1750gtv Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Thanks all. I should have said its a 110. Under the rear/middle seats makes sense and there are some straps. It's just impossible to stop it flopping back and forth. Perhaps the bag would help, which I haven't got. Is there a specific location for the base plate and handle? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi, I saw its your first post, if you aren't new to Defenders you'll know what follows. Do check the jack will lift the vehicle before relying on it to,especially if you have any doubts about the state of the jacking points and remember if you lift a back wheel the handbrake doesn't work unless you engage difflock. I think there is supposed to be a chock as well as the jack, carrying one seems sensible, as punctures seem to like to happen on hills on dark rainy nights. They do for me anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
