Hi-Lift Jack Mounting

["Joe Costanzo" <joe_costanzo@domain.elided>]

     Dan & All,
     
     I got my Hi-Lift a few weeks ago, and quickly realized what a missile 
     it could become if not anchored down properly.  I used the spare tire 
     eye bolt inside the cab (I have a spare tire carrier (sorry folks - I 
     don't know where it came from)) to mount one end, and an engine 
     hoisting loop attached at my roll bar mounts, along with a piece of 
     chain, to hold the other end.  It's actually a bit too long to fit 
     there, so it's angled up and the top sticks a couple inches above the 
     bedrail height.  That is one heavy jack!  (As a side note for 
     versatility - I used it just last night to help my brother fix a 
     rental trailer we were returning - the crank stand wasn't retracting 
     properly & we needed to take the weight off of it.)
     
     Now if I could only get stuck - again...
