where's your jack?

I keep mine in the cooler, where do you keep your's?

I installed my quick fist shovel mounts today. I drilled holes through my stripper pole, installed with #10 bolts. I am going for a test run down the beach before Baja. We shall see how they hold up.

Have you seen these?

No, but those would fix what I already foresee as being a problem.


My Jack is under the rear seat... I have a craftsman 2 ton, but dont feel like dropping the $300 for the Stewart's raceworks slider/mount...

Big Purple truck came today and brought me a present!

This thing is solid too!

What is it? fuel skid plate?

Goes from the back stock skidplate to the tranny crossmember. I did some damage to my truck last year in this area.

I've seen a few trucks with some damage there. Definitely gotta look into this!

careful with the jack inside the cab, if you happen to roll, that jack is gonna come out from under the seat and look for you..
a good alternative to the raceworks jack mt. is Dirt-techs, nice mount at about half the cost....

The 2 ton is $390
Last week Jonny at Richer Racing had these at laser cutting. They should be done by now. I believe they are in the $225-250 range

Actually a 1/3rd of the cost....I had no idea they were so cheap.

I have the stock jack under the seat, not a big one. Yeah that could hurt...
