    Made myself some new hi lift mounts today. My previous ones were a rush job so I wanted to make them right. First one took awhile to get the angles right. I wanted it a certain height off the wheel well and also wanted it to stick out a certain distance from the bedside.


    Once I got one down, I put it in the vice. Put the second strip of metal next to it and just matched the bends. I’d cut part way through with a grinder, bend and weld. Second mount took no time at all.

    It’s quite fun making things. I’m not sure what’s next.

    I used 1/2" carriage bolts because I discovered the square portion fits nicely in the hi lift holes, so once I tighten up the wing nut, the square portion holds the hi lift nice and snug. I just ground the circle part into a square and welded it onto the face of it. It worked pretty well. The wing nuts I got from mcmaster carr and also work perfectly with the hi lift.

    I think so, maybe 1.5". And used these in the rail. Somehow this was my first time buying the machined nuts like that. I've always worked around them because I'm cheap, but damn they are nice.
