[QUOTE="goalieThreeOne, post: 1998869, member: 69717"] Part 2! The last thing I wanted to hang from this is the jack extension, rather than rattle around in the console or storage box. What I wanted to do was create a captive stud to go through the holes and have a knob to cinch it down so fi I ever take it off, I don't have 6 pieces of hardware to keep up with. I started with a 1/4-20 bolt, fully threaded, 2 3/4 inch long. If I were to do it again, I'd get a 3 or 3 1/2 inch bolt instead just to get more threads on the knob. I simply threaded it from the back side of the MOLLE panel (which meant unmounting it) and then cinch it down with a nylon anti vibration nut and a washer.

But I didn't want the extension banging around and rattling, so I ended up getting some rubber tubing from McMaster-Carr. The diameter is important. It needs to be 1/4" inner diameter, 7/16" outer diameter. This allows it to pass snugly through the holes you'll see in a bit. If your bed is uncovered, you'll want the UV resistant stuff but other than that it really doesn't matter what material, color, or style of tubing you use. Unfortunately MC only sells the tubing I got in 25 foot roles, so now I have 24 2/4 feet of useless tubing leftover. push it over the stud, hang the extension, and then make a mark to cut with a utility knife. You want the tubing to end exactly at the same point on the stud as the extension. Next you're gonna need a knob. I used a nylon 4 wing through-hole knob in red. You can use any knob you want, but you need to make sure the shoulder of the knob is larger than 1/2", but much larger is preferred.
