Need pics of your mounts...

...for your Hi-Lift jack.

Need ideas to fab something to hold a jack. Con-Ferr is no longer in business and they had the brackets I was after. If I can't find any, I may just have to "copy" theirs.

Two 1/2" bolts, flat stock tabs 4-6" long, and a long skinny space

Actually I used channel for my tabs, 'cuz I had it handy and it has the extra strength in two dimensions. I also used 1/2" all thread for whatever reason. Oh, they're extra long 'cuz I drilled through one to put a lock through it. Keeps the honest people honest anyway.

And that middle thing is to keep the noise/vibration on the handle to a minimum ... I've since replaced it with the Daystar isolator as it's really a clever piece of engineering, has no moving parts to fail, and was cheap

Obviously most folks won't put it on top of the (lack of) tailgate, but you could do it on a bedrail onto a piece of angle iron, or onto a rollbar, or whatever.

I mounted mine like dremu did, but mounted it to my cage. I took regular nuts & welded a 4" long 1/4" round stock to the nuts so I could get it tight, but wouldn't need a wrench to get it off. I use a rubber bungee strap to keep mine from rattling. I also used an extra set of nuts to put on the bolts before the jack to space it away from the cage. I'll see if I can get you some pics later today.
