    I like it, clean and functional, what are the details on the attaching bolts.
    I plan to do something very similar.

    I would have painted the handle yellow.
    and the plastic handle thingy..are those made in yellow as well ?
    the mounting looks great
    just think the color needs to be changed to match your fine looking rig !

    The Bolts are 1/2 x 4" grade 8 with a small hole drilled in for the keeper once the wing nut is in place they are drill in to the pipe then welded in place.

    I think your right the color is off!! Yellow would be better. As for the handle keeper its Red Prothane I dont think I can't change that.

    Im looking for a place to mount my hi-lift now that where I had the mount is now unaccessable due to the spare tire mount and tool box I mounted in the rear. I see some disadvantages to having it out there on the front though, lots of rocks where I wheel. Has anyone ever banged-up their jack with it mounted like this?

    I think it's a great spot. The mount looks great too.

    Looks great.. Only thing I would have done different is use bolts that wheel locks could be used on.. Just to keep the thing on my bumper.

    Good idea I was going to drill the holes were the keepers are and put locks in but like that Idea better I have some in one of my bolt bins they are 1/2 bolts that might work.

    That is a nice mount but it covers the nice showpiece that is behind it!
