It will get covered with dust if you keep it oiled. In CT, i have mine mounted up on the back of the rear roll bar. Keeps it clean in winter also when the roads are loaded with salt.

I bought 2 chain link fence hold offs from Home Depot with a few bolts. Two of the bolts are long enough to accept the High Lift at each end and mount the base. Oh yeah, get some of the large flat washers. All available at the link fence area for about $5.00 or $7.00 bucks and all galvanized. I can put the top on and still remove the jack by rolling up the rear window.
