    slick work!

    I have problems with my high lift slipping side to side... was thinking about building some kind of "pocket" the jack could fit into when I use it... just a thought.

    Looks great man.
    I'd like to think I'm the guy they are talkin about when they say, "he could F%^& up a cannon ball in a plowed field."

    Yea I agree. Had thought about getting some 2x2 tube or so... then slice it long ways. Notching the bumper and welding the halfs in the notches.

    A friend of mine does the rock crawl jeep trail thing and he has after market bumper that are pretty rugged like yours and he had the same problem. Drilled 3/4 holes on the underside of each corner of the front and rear bumpers and we fabricated a bracket that slips over the contact point of the jack with a 1" h x 5/8" d pin welded to it and is held in place with a detent ring pin with a lanyard like this kinda ( http://www.pivotpins.com/catalog/Detring.shtml ) through the hole in the jack. The pin is tall enough that it will handle quite a bit of angle and definitely wont slip. and if you need to use the jack without it just pull the pin slide off the bracket and you have stock jack surface.

    here's a crude 30 sec drawing that I hope illustrates what I am talking about

    That's clever! That almost reminds me of the shackle adapter that some company makes. Hmmm
