So I'm trying to make some more room inside and am thinking about putting my Hi-Lift on the rear bumper. It's been in side the 4runner in pieces for 3 years and still looks brand new. My buddy has his on his rear carrier and it didn't work the last time he needed it.

I've seen the full cases, hard and soft, not sure if I like them or can fit the hard case.

Anyone that stores their high lift outside have any good or bad experiences? Do you cover it, how often do you maintain it?

Thanks
