Part #:
The dealer trunks are all plastic, or if you have an old factory one the hinges wouldn't support the weight of the Hi-Lift and won't fit into my plans. Since I had an old steel Insta-Trunk lying around the garage I decided to see if it would fit. It was already drilled for the Hi-lift jack and Fire extinguisher, and I had no place to store my recovery gear besides laying it out in the open. Luckily this one fit the 2003 models. The only bad thing about it is that I no longer need the cutouts on each side since they did away with hinges on the back seats. I will probably end up designing something as soon as I can find someone with a good welder and bender I can borrow.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
