Old Man Build

[Old-Raptor-guy]

If the part ever comes off back order, I have a bracket ordered to mount mine vertically between the tires. But I have a completely different chase rack.
I’ve seen a bracket that I “ think” is sold by Pro Eagle to mount their jack vertically on IG. But I honestly don’t know that for certain. Currently I have my HF jack horizontal between tires with two ratchet straps holding it. Seems secure but would like to use the space for even more clutter in my bed.

Post pictures, I ain't afraid of drilling holes...

IIRC, the badlands is ~70-ish pounds. It’s a burn to curl that thing fo’ sho’

I do not want that thing coming loose. OTOH... I’ve already got a 30-ish (?) pound rack, 2x 110 pound wheel/tire secured to the bed bolts and looking to add in another 70. Now, I’m sure the bed bolts are strong but how strong?

I know we have some pretty thorough bed setups, but how hard are those trucks being sent?

Oh PS I don't send my stuff hoonigan style.

One of my employees noticed all the stuff I have been doing and ask "did someone beat you" I said NO but you don't don't have to lose to want to go faster.

In all honesty for my terrian I don't know if I could go faster. But going the same speed in more difficult terrain well that is what I am about.

Oh by the way, spacers work. A 3mm (1/8th inch).would probably work, but barely. Photo makes it look closer than it actually is.

Wheels arrived.

Got a spare mounted. Bunman might think it needs tire shine, I think the wheel needs some dirt.

Trying to figure out how I want the jack mounted. Also I swear I saw a couple posts in another thread that the tire tie down point at the front of the rack should be down low, VS tied to the bar.

Anyone have opinions on that??

What straps do you have? I have the SDHQ straps on their rack and it's tied the the cross bar. Strap it down nice and tight and they wiggle a tiny little bit. Nothing I have worried about.
Loved following along with the build!

It's hard to stabilize something like that because its so heavy, not sure what is rattling, but as funny as it sounds, I have found bungee cords to be great at holding things together. If you bungeed the tires together with some heavy duty bungees it might help. Unless its the rack that is moving/rattling.
