Axe & Shovel Bracket

Made this handy shovel and axe bracket.

I originally had my high lift jack on the rear spare wheel. I had a bracket made up that gets bolted down together with the wheel carrier. I liked the jack there, because I can get it down in 30 seconds. Unlike a roof mounted one.

I then moved the jack to the bumper in front. I wasn't comfy with the extra weight on the door hinges. I then made the bracket for the shovel & axe to fit on the exist bracket that housed the jack. It's made of GMS plate used for support of electrical cables. Cable trays, in other words. I used brackets with rubber linings to reduce vibrations and movement. They fasten with screws, so though you need to undo it with a screw driver, a would be thief will still take about 4.5 milli seconds to steal it!! When I'm not in the bush, I remove the whole bracket and then don't cart it around for free!!! Same with the jack. I only place it on the bumper when heading to the rough stuff!!

Koos.

Ek sal vir jou fotos en details post onder 'n nuwe topic: Rear Replacement bumper.

Herrie. Ja, ek het net 2 klein gaatjies gemaak in die cover, maar daar is 'n bracket gebou waaraan die jack vasgekom het. Wat lekker is van die bracket, die hele ding kan fhaal met die graaf en byl daarop. Dan word dit in die stoor gebere en niks le los rond nie!!
