Basic Hi-Lift Bed Mount

Nothing too fancy, had some time to kill at work while the CNC ran. I still need to drill one of the bolts for a lock, I know it's not the most secure design but there's no crime around here, I'm not worried. I need to get the handle isolator so it doesn't rattle too.

 

Pretty darn cool and it gets the job done

 

Looks good Got any pictures of the mount itself without the hi lift in place so we can actually see it?

 

I'll take a few more pictures when I ad a lock

 

Did you ever lock it?

 

No I still haven't got around to adding a lock. No ones messed with it so far though

 

Have you thought about using wing nuts to make it easier to grab when needed? I'm thinking about using big wing nuts for mine but only after I get a lock on there somehow

 

Ya thats how I did it on one of my XJ's. Wing nuts and drilled the bolt for a small marine grade padlock

 

Looks good! I think the only people you have to worry about stealing it are the Jeep guys, and maybe some farmers. Everyone else has no idea what it is. J/K

 

There's a jeep guy at work with one mounted on his hood. Only held on by wing nuts and it's been there for months. I bet most people at work don't even know what it it too.

 

Looks like a kinda dated thread. Any chance of producing these at a reasonable price?

 

I am a machinist, next time some proper scrap comes around and some time I can make a few. They really are as basic as it gets.
