Mine sits nicely behind the front seats and is strapped to the seat frames.
Doesn't get in the way at all.

I drilled 2 holes under the rear Seats and stuck 2 bolts thru and mounted it there.

Thanks for the help guys, mine currently sits behind the driver and passenger seats, but I just want to mount it on the roof rack as I just think it looks the part

If ya do mount it outside Keep it well oiled and the mechanism covered from the elements. Or 1st time you need it the bugger will be fubar'd

Got mine mounted to my bull bars using a set of exhaust clamps with a bolt welded to it and a set of wing nuts to fasten it on , thinking of swapping one wing nut to a locking wheel nut

That's a good price if you don't get clobbered too much for postage.

well it's £29.40 with vat and then a £5 for postage i think but if you buy other bits and spend over £50 then its free delivery

auf_wiedersehen_pet · Jan 7, 2013

I paid £35 from a show so yours is 60p cheaper! Or £5.60 if you buy other bits.

Thanks for the ideas and recommendations guys. Auf wiedersehen I think you have a brilliant thread going on about your truck

I have mine bolted on the outside because it's easy to get to. Proper cover over it to stop most of the sand and mud getting on it. I wouldn't fancy getting it off the roof in a precarious situation that would be irritating...or having too much weight up top. The suggestions inside the cab bolted down look like good ones.
