What are you using to mount and lock the high lift jack on the rack?

 

Old school hood pins is what I have been mounting mine on for years. They have text to let me down. Thought I'd throw that our there even though your question wasn't directed at me.

All good man, always open to suggestions! Do these have any sort of locking feature? More so looking to prevent people with sticky fingers from trying to take it off my rig

 

Kill the threads on the bottom of it with a hammer or a tack weld and use a pad lock through the linch pin hole. Heater hose bushings on the pin shank to keep the jack from rattling all the time on the pins.

 

That's ok. Towed the boat with the new rig a month ago. Took a picture right before I left the driveway and titled it "got hitched!".

Not married. Went over about as expected.

That's ok. I pulled the "We're hitched" stunt on the internet as a gag with the first tow in the new Taco. Went over about as well as you'd think it'd go. Btw we aren't married.

 

I like you style my friend, just hydrated out laughing in the office

 

UPDATE:

After adjusting the fairing, making sure everything was square and tightened down, no more vibration on the highway!!!

 

Anyone on the east coast have a cabrac and toprac (5 foot bed) they want to sell!?!?

 

same as @Jack0928 i was wondering what method u used to mount you hi-lift jack.

been thinking of different ways for awhile that are secure (lockable) and simple..ish

 

I used hi-lift part #HM-800. To secure it I am not sure yet. They have a locking knob but does not review well. I was thinking a cable or some other bike type lock. Open to ideas. For now I remove it when needed easy to do.

 

See post 7735.

 

thank's!
u have a very nice setup!

i may continue to ask u questions if u continue to have good ideas..

 

I see you have lock on your krazy beaver shovel, is that not locking the high lift aswell?

 

Anyone have a link to some replacement screws for the crossbars? I stripped some with my allen key.

 

No. That just locks the shovel to the hi lift. Still need to secure the hi lift. Working on that.

 

Get a gun lock and loop it though the jack and around the bar on your rack

Like this one

 

Just make sure you get one that has a rubber cover for the lock barrel to protect it from corrosion... So not actually the one I linked lol

 

That maybe the ticket! Just needs to not touch paint. Hmm. I will give on a try. I see one that is rubber wrapped. Thank you!!

 

You used an allen key or a torx bit?

 

Think I may have found something for you

$28 Hi-Lift Jack Mount Lock - HM-LK

here. It should work with your mounting option since it is a high lift brand mount which utilize 3/8th bolts

Im planning on utilizing this lock, just need to find another initial mounting option, don't want to spend the $70 on the mount and unfortunately I cant think of a way to use a 3/8th bolt with prinsu as it uses 1/4th.
